Number concentration: displays the particle number concentration over time in the
graph panel
Diameter: displays the average particle diameter over time in the graph panel
LDSA: displays the lung-deposited surface area over time in the graph panel
Induction correction: Rapidly varying charge concentrations inside the instrument in-
duce a current on the diffusion stage. This leads to error in number and concentration
measurement. The induced current can be deduced from the time derivative of the

lter
stage signal. If you turn on the induction correction, this computed induced current is
subtracted from the diffusion stage signal. The induction correction leads to a higher
noise level on the diffusion stage, and thus should only be used when necessary.
