A couple of problems to be aware of:
1) The version of FileGuard you use must be compatible with your Mac
operating system. We have version 2.7.6 with the 7.1 operating system which
works fine. We have been told any version up to and including 2.9.4 will work
with the 7.1 OS. From experience I can tell you that version 2.9.5, which is
designed for the 7.5 or greater OS, will not work! If in doubt about versions
call the manufacturer.
2) There appears to be no way to configure the security access which
would allow one to turn on the computer to analyze data files only without
having access to all the flow cytometer operating controls. Thus, log-in
starts the billing clock ticking! We have an off-line workstation strictly for
data analysis so this has not been a problem for us.
Overall we are very happy with the program as a record keeper for the
user log. The software is available from any software source but is probably
cheapest in a Mac oriented catalogue (ex. Mac Warhouse). The manufacturer is
ASD Software Inc., 4650 Arrow Highway, Suite E-6, Montclair, CA 91763. Telephone
(909) 624-2594. Hope this helps those of you who are interested!
