- Alvin experiment-control software:
- Full install v 1.27, 8/9/2007 (Alvin2 is a much better choice.)
- How to make a standalone TDT recording utility: (1) create a shortcut to alvin.exe and rename it something like "TDTRecorder", (2) right-click on the shortcut and choose 'Properties' (3) under the 'Shortcut' tab, go to the end of the line across from the word "Target" and add the option "-recorder". The recording utiltiy works with Tucker&Davis System 3 A/D hardware. Lightly tested so far but works on our end.
