[Spm] Determination of statistical parameters using Veeco version 5.30r3.sr3 software

[Farhad Cama]

Hi all:
I have a Veeco D-3100 AFM with a NanoScope IIIA controller.  The software 
version that I am using is 5.30r3.sr3.  I  determine various statistical 
parameters such as average (number average/mean) diameters, average pit 
lengths and side wall angles etc. using the particle size and the CD/DVD 
analysis packages that come along with this software.  However, I also 
want to determine some other statistical parameters such as 'weight 
average diameters' etc.  which are not provided in the 'turn key' software 
package.  For this I need to know all the values of the selected 
parameters.  How do I access these values?  I would like to have them in 
an excel  spreadsheet so that I can extract various statistical parameters 
 from that data.  Veeco says that these data points are not directly 
accessible!  But then, how do they determine the averages in their 
software packages?  Your comments and suggestions to resolve this problem 
will be much appreciated.
Best regards,
