By summing up the total number of overall sizes, the total number concentration can be derived. The unit also has several audible alarms when operational parameters are exceeded.

Image analysis and data processing software provided with the probe takes particle size information (including area and volume) and ice crystal habit classification from the images to produce histograms etc.
