The choices for data counting are: 

Cumulative – Includes all particles that are larger than or equal to the 
particle size selected in the sample volume field. 

Differential – Includes all particles that are larger than or equal to the 
particle size selected in the sample volume field, but small than the next 
largest particle size. 

To set the method for counting data: 

1. Press 

F2

 (SETUP) key on the Main screen. The Setup page 1 screen is 

displayed with the current “Cnt Mode” field is selected.
