CyCLOPS is a complete flow cytometry software
package. It can be configured
for on-line acquisition, sort control and analysis, or, on-line acquisition and
analysis only, or, off-line analysis. CyCLOPS supports both the CICERO and
MoFlo electronics systems.
CyCLOPS is written in "C" and is designed to
exploit the speed available on 486 and Pentium PC's, to enable essentially "instant"
screen responses and on-line software compensation. The programs run under a
"pull down" menu to minimize paging. Operating set-ups are stored as
"protocols." Frequently repeated commands are linked by custom macro strings
for recall at a single keystroke. CyCLOPS acquires files into histogram and/or
listmode directories. The program includes routines for linear to log data
conversion.
Display capability includes 15 "objects" on a single
screen. These can include
eight movable, sizeable histograms, instrument setting status, and a gating
diagram. The screen displays can include isometrics, contours, and
comprehensive histogram labelling. Analysis routines include subtraction,
overlays, kinetics, plotting time versus ratio, percent positive and mean.
Color gating is an elegant feature of the system.
CyCLOPS provides convenient export of files in
formats compatible with popular
spread-sheets, word processors and graphics packages. High quality printing is
provided through support of the latest versions of HP LaserJetTM
printers. A special feature of CyCLOPS is the provision of network compatible
data transfer capability.
