I do not have R code for ConfoCor2 raw data, but I'm working on some R code to read ConfoCor3 raw data. That R example is not quite ready for public release.
The ConfoCor3 raw data format, which is a binary file, is quite a bit simpler to process than ConfoCor2 raw data. IMHO, the ConfoCor2 data format is unnecessarily complex. With ConfoCor2 two bit streams are multiplexed into a single binary stream, and run-length compressed at the same time. I did write a Delphi ConfoCor 2 viewer (with source code), which I'm modifying to handle either ConfoCor 2 or 3 raw data if that is of any interest: http://research.stowers-institute.org/efg/ScientificSoftware/Utility/FCSViewer/index.htm (I hope to update this page in the next week or two with that new version). Diagrams on that page show how the ConfoCor2 file can be parsed. Bit manipulations in R would be a bit of a pain IMHO. Unfortunately, "FCS" is an overloaded acronym and some may be interested in "Flow Cytometery Standard" FCS data, which is a different kind of binary file for a very different subject area. There is a prada package for this other kind of FCS data. Find some additional notes about using R with this kind of FCS data here: http://research.stowers-institute.org/efg/ScientificSoftware/Utility/FCSExtract/index.htm efg Earl F.

I wish to know if a package in language R exists to analyze FCS (Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy) datas. And, if it possible, in addition can read the archives in raw format generated by the ConfoCor2 program. ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
