Limitations and high priority Issues NOT DONE YET
File operation
- Return to launcher without saving, followed by quitting allows the user to quit without saving or a prompt
- ID7000 data can return invalid statistics
- Bigfoot derived FCS files are displayed incorrectly with a reduced scale
- FACSMelody files will not load
- Export to v10 fails for FACSDiscover data
- Some workbenches will show the error "The file you tried to open is not supported" on attempt to open
- On windows, files won't load from folders with accent marks in the name
Preferences
- Preferences set on one cytometer can apply to other cytometers
Unmixing
- In the unmixing wizard, NxN plots for BD FACSDiscover S8 data have misleading labels
- The spillover matrix normalization approach differs from FACSDiva and FACSChorus. Matrices will be proportionally the same, but will have different values.
Reports
- Virtually concatenated data will display the incorrect group name in legends
Platforms
- tSNE calculation slows down with repeated runs.
- tSNE plots are less defined in v11 compared to v10
Image Wall
- Large amounts of FACSDiscover data can freeze the image wall
- Image wall filter settings reset on save/reopen a workbench
