Getting Started

 

Environment Variables

It is neccessary to have the following pgplot environments delared (this is most practical if you add the definitions to your login shell, the example here is with cshell on the local 'JAZZ' SGI)

    setenv PGPLOT_FONT ~taner/mathdir/pgplot/grfont.dat
    setenv PGPLOT_DIR ~taner/mathdir/pgplot
    alias xtreat ~taner/xtreat2/xtreat.tcl
    alias tanqens ~taner/bin/tanqens-vs01.tcl
 
 

Files

To retrieve FCS data files from TOF2 and convert them into readable ASCII format, just press the 'Get File From TOF2' button. This opens another window where you are required to enter the directory on TOF2 where the files are, and the filename (with no .fcs exension). The resulting file is then automatically FTP'ed to your current directory. Upon closing this window the filename is automatically taken as the input for the rest of the program.

If you have already converted FCS binary data files to ASCII format and have them stored locally, use the file browser or directly type the required filename for analysis into the supplied space. For the latter option, if the file does not reside in the directory from which you launched XTREAT you must include the full path.
