WORKSTATION
The Workstation analyzes and reports the status of the Cytometer. The Workstation computer
contains a Beckman Coulter-manufactured Opto Transprocessor EXMEM card or Opto
Transprocessor EXMEM II card. The Fiber Optics Interface card attached to the rear panel of
the Cytometer converts the digital data received from the Cyto Transputer card to optical data
then sends that optical data to the Opto Transprocessor EXMEM or Opto Transprocessor
EXMEM II card inside the Workstation computer where the optical data is converted back to
digital data. Based on the protocol selected by operator, this raw data input is gated and
histograms are produced for analysis. These histograms are displayed on the Workstation
screen and may be stored and retrieved as the operator desires.
