Abstract

An data processing systemincludes: an integral partwhich integrates, by two mutually different times, light intensities indicating light intensity signals outputted from light detectorsrespectively provided for detecting intensities of scattered light and transmitted light generated by irradiating a sample powder S with light and then outputs each of the integrated values; an actuator control partwhich generates and outputs a control signal for a vibration actuatorwhich drops the sample powder S stored in a sample housing so that one of the integrated values of light intensity outputted from the integral partbecomes closer to a set value previously defined; and a particle size distribution calculation partwhich calculates the particle size distribution of the sample powder S based on another of the integrated values of light intensity outputted from the integral part
