Hello,

I am trying to read .fcs (FCS3.0) from a Sysmex Partec Cube 6 V2M flow cytometer, and get an error (with (R 4.2.1, flowCore2.10.0).

read.FCS('AEboth') returns (AEboth being one sample file):

Error in readFCSdata(con, offsets, txt, transformation, which.lines, scale, :
object 'dat' not found

With the function readFCS() from the IFC package, I can access to the data, but with a warning:

Warning: TEXT (or sup. TEXT) segment: can't find final delimiter
Warning: TEXT (or sup. TEXT) segment: can't find final delimiter
Warning: TEXT (or sup. TEXT) segment: supplemental TEXT segment is not readable:
