The more simple problem of data acquisition can be accomplished far
more easily, but I don't know of any solutions other than that from
Cytomation mentioned above.
For older instruments, FACS440 and several predecessors, there are a
variety of acquisition solutions that have been implemented. These
include various DEC-based systems (Electric Desk, ACQ at NIH, and
others) and the PC-based acquisition system that I put together (an
abstract is in the Cytometry supplement for the ISAC meeting in
Bergen). The system allows 4-parameter acquisition on a PC and can
run effectively up to 10,000 cells per second. It can run quite
nicely in DESQView and probably does fine as a non-Windows
application.
