• Volume Percent (for PDA only) shows the equivalent particle<br />

volume within each bin in percent of the total equivalent volume.<br />

• Volume Cumulative Percent (for PDA only) shows the cumulative<br />

percentage of equivalent particle volume lower than or equal to the<br />

value on the X-axis<br />

Figure 5-53. Results from size histogram properties (left) <strong>and</strong> velocity<br />

histogram properties (right).<br />

Note The Count Number histogram is calculated from the particles raw data <strong>and</strong><br />

is used as input for the other histograms results to calculate the total number<br />

of particles, total equivalent surface or volume of droplets. By running the<br />

histogram object after changing the X-axis properties, the histogram will be<br />

calculated from the new bin width <strong>and</strong> new minimum <strong>and</strong> maximum particle<br />

velocity or diameter.<br />

For further information about the histogram calculations, the user will refer<br />

to chapter 7 (Mean diameters, Size histograms <strong>and</strong> algorithms for<br />

concentration <strong>and</strong> flux measurements)<br />

Marker The property Show Marker can be set to None, Mean, RMS or 3xRMS,<br />

<strong>and</strong> provides the option of showing a marker in the histogram. The marker is<br />

a red vertical line (default) indicating the Mean value, Mean+RMS or<br />

Mean+3xRMS.<br />

5.11.2 Probe volume correction (for PDA only)<br />

<strong>BSA</strong> <strong>Flow</strong> software includes statistical Probe Volume Correction (see<br />

chapter 7.11 Probe Volume Correction) for size histogram. To apply this<br />

correction, select yes. In off-line process, you may have to run again the<br />

histogram object by pressing the run.<br />

Note The PVC is only available for size histograms in % or pdf <strong>and</strong> is<br />

calculated from visible data within the histogram plot. Therefore, it is<br />

important that the entire size distribution is displayed.<br />
