Microsoft Excel.  

 

The data plots provided with DustComm Pro enable: 

•

 

Detailed statistical analysis. 

•

     Creation of graphics and charts. 

•

  Mathematical correction of particle characteristics when aerosol significantly differs from 

calibration dust. 

•

 

Real time viewing of concentration values and real-time graphs. 

•

 

The ability to wirelessly communicate between the device and the software.
