Use the Start Collection button to start and stop continuous data
collection. The slider bar controls the data acquisition time.
The Scale +/- Button adjusts the Particle Size Distribution scale.
The Save Single Sample button records a single sample to an
ASCII file.
The Next button is used if the continuous data collection mode is
not being used. Pressing the next button will command the LISST
to make a measurement and transmit the data to the SOP for
display.
The Spherical / Random Shape radio buttons can be selected in
order to display the results as being processed under the
assumption that the particles are spheres or randomly shaped
(natural grains) particles.
Note: The main power and laser will be on until this window is
closed or until the Stop button is pressed. Significant loss of
battery life can occur if the instrument is left powered up for an
extended period of time.
