>Finally, I'd like to know what software is available (commercial or
>otherwise) to slice up the events in a single list-mode file. (I have
>some home-grown software under development if anyone is interested in

>B-D, or Coulter) do time-slicing?
The references below review the types of measurements Eric described,
give references to original work by Bohn & Mmanske, Crowell & Salzman,
Finney & Sklar and others, and give protocols for both equilibrium
methods and dilution methods. The KINPRO program in the Consort/VAX
package calculates gated means and standard deviations for time-slices
of FCS files and creates a file for plotting of these means versus time.
If CHRONOS is still supported for the HP, it does similar things.
