Creating a Size Trend Analysis
Creating a size trend analysis allows you to see variations in particle size over time or in relationship
to other variables (such as pH). A Size Trend analysis combines data from multiple analyses into one
graph or listing. You can update a Size Trend by adding additional analysis files at any time.
You can also use a size trend analysis to track changes in calibration (changes in the calibration
constant, or Kd). For more information on Kd values, see page
