About LTP-Director Program
The first part of the software package is the LTP-Director Program for online data recording.
The software will always display and record triggered sweeps of 100 ms length.
For setting up and running an experiment, the LTP-Director has two modes with two main
windows: Test Mode and Measurement Mode.
If there is no data acquisition hardware connected, the software starts in Demo Mode for
simulation purposes. In demo mode the LTP-Director runs a simulation file to show how the
program is working. It has no effect to change the parameters due to the fixed simulation file
in the background.

Test Mode
Start the LTP-Director. The program will start in Test Mode.
In test mode you have the possibility to select the best stimulation electrodes and to adjust the
stimulation parameters. On the left window pane of the main window there is the blue control
window for setting up the experimental conditions.
On the right window pane you see the data display for the electrode field. You can define two
independent stimulation pathways, and select up to four electrodes to be analyzed online in
measurement mode. In test mode, no data is recorded and saved. See chapter "Data Display
Test Mode" for further information.
