Dear Farhad Cama,
You may use the Grain Analysis tool of SPIP. It can measure several parameters and their statistics, which are easily exported to Excel.

Subject: [Spm] Determination of statistical parameters using Veeco version5.30r3.sr3 software


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,
