Ethernet is easily the fastest solution to transfer files among computers. We shuttle flow data among HP, PC, Mac, NeXT and other computers very easily. Where cost is prohibitive, and the HP310 is the collection computer, then the hppclink is an inexpensive alternative for transfer to a PC. I get the same results as Eric Martz. In the documentation that I wrote for hppclink I noted the following: File transfer time: A 4 parameter, 10 000 event list mode file collected using Consort 30 takes about 14 seconds to transfer. That is, 80 blocks or 40960 bytes in 14 seconds, or about 3000 bytes per second. The documentation for hppclink which I wrote (it includes installation of the software, installation of a typical GP-IB card, and pointers for file naming) is at flowcyt.cyto.purdue.edu in the /pub/upload directory: [NOTE: this software is now in the /pub/hp-pc directory -- Steve] hppclink.ps is a device-independent PostScript file hppclink.txt is the straight text file If anyone is interested, I can put the executable files for the PC and the HP on the Purdue computer as well.
