Abstract
The gating control features described include creating a first gate in a scaled data space. The scaling properties may be stored or associated with the gate. As the scaling parameters are changed for the gate—either manually or through automated detection—the scaled properties are continually updated to reflect the most recent changes. When gate properties are changed on a gate that applies to multiple data sets, the correct scaled properties are continuously stored with the gate for each data set, as the properties are being change interactively. The features also allow for backwards compatibility by associating current scaling parameters with a predefined gate.

A gating control device for processing particle measurements, the gating control device comprising:
- an input device port configured to receive messages from input devices;
- an event listener in data communication with the input device port, the event listener configured process the messages received from the input devices;
- a computer-readable memory storing executable instructions;
- and
- one or more computer processors in communication with the computer-readable memory, wherein the one or more computer processors are configured to execute the executable instructions to at least:
- receive, from a first input device via the input device port, gate data including vertices defining an area of interest for a first graphical plot of particle measurements;
- determine that the first graphical plot presents the particle measurements using a scaling parameter, wherein the scaling parameter identifies a non-linear scaling factor for at least one dimension of measurement included in the particle measurements;
- generate linear vertices for the area of interest based at least in part on the vertices and the non-linear scaling factor;
- and
- create a data record including the scaling parameter, the vertices, and the linear vertices in association with an identifier for the area of interest.
