Data Processing - Analysis
The Analysis settings allow you to specify the scattering model, latex analysis
options and modify the light detectors used in a measurement.
Tip
If you are unsure which analysis settings are best suited to your application,
try reapplying different analysis settings to the measurement records. To
do this, use the Edit Result feature after the first set of measurements has
been made – see Viewing the measurement chapter for more informa-
tion.
