Dear FlOWers, We are running a BD-Vantage equiped with a Quadra and Cellquest software. We too had connection problems, mainly after running the cytometer in sorting mode for > 1 hour. The error message was : 'GPIO error'. Shutting off both cytometer and computer was the only thing that worked. The BD techniqual service has tried everything, including changing the computer and interface boards, with practically no results. The only trick we found, was to open the cytometer's door during sorting (so that there is no overheating of the electronics??) This has significantly improved our problems...
