tribution panels. The information shown is either live or, after a measurement
has been completed, relates to the currently selected record (the bold yellow
line) - this record number is shown at the top of the Result View panel.
Laser - the Laser display panel initially provides an indication of the cur-

rent Power output of the laser, and then, during the sample addition phase,

obscuration falls within the green band - this band is defined by the user in
the Measurement obscuration section of the Manual measurement settings
window.
