Analysis size range

The analysis size range is the size range over which the total concentration of
the sample will be reported. Only particles in the analysis size range will be
used to calculate the sample concentration. If not defined, the custom analysis
range will be the same as the resolution range.

Figure 7. Different resolution ranges possible for a given NP250 pore.
