Particle size information message

The particle size information message contains information about the particle
size in each channel. The message is output in response to the particle size
information request message "Q/S".
The message has the following format.

 S/0.1UM, 0.15UM, 0.2UM, 0.3UM, 0.5UM

<EOL>

UM: Particle size unit (µm)

Note

The particle size ranges of the KS-93 are 

0.1 µm,

0.15 µm, 

0.2 µm, 

0.3 µm, 

0.5 µm.
