This handy tool can perform different corrections (e.g. Weingartner, Virkkula) on Aethalometer data (e.g. AE-31). Raw Aethalometer data suffers from several artifacts including filter matrix effect (multiple scattering), loading effect (shadowing) and scattering effect. Careful corrections are needed for reporting light absorption coefficient from attenuation measurement. This Igor based program can directly import Aethalometer raw data and perform corrections (algorithm can be selected by user). Results can be exported to .csv files. Extra information including statistics of sensor voltage from each channel, sampling flow rate, etc are plotted for a quick QA/QC check.
