Hi there,

I've found that while reading an FCS file, the time parameter (double) gets limited to 262144.0 (= 2^18) and in my case the this parameter goes much higher than this number.

Is there a way to get a flowframe to have a larger data type? or can I change the default number of bits in a double throughout R?

I have tested this same file in matlab and have not had the same error, so I know that the FCS file is correct.

I can send you the FCS file if you want to take a look for yourself.  

With latest flowCore 1.35.5 in devel branch, you should be able to turn the truncation off by

x <- read.FCS(file.name, truncate_max_range = FALSE)
