PC -based algorithm operated together with the detection system of the Dubna Gas-filled Recoil Separator is presented[1-5]. It allows to operate with the experimental data obtained from the detection system of GFRS which consists of 12-strip silicon position sensitive detector and two multiwire low-pressure proportional gaseous chambers to generate time-of-flight signal of incoming charge particles. Special attention is payed to the detection of genetically linked recoil-alpha sequences in a real-time mode. The results of the experiment aimed to the synthesis of new Z=114-116 elements with the mentioned technique is presented too.
