Can Delta Store The Images Captured By Automated Systems?

By: Kevin Rivard

Question: Can Delta store the images captured by automated systems?

Answer: Simple answer is yes.

The computer is able to store up to 1000MB worth of images without any issues. Once beyond this point the hard drive could start having problems accessing the image folder causing the computer to run slower than normal, so the oldest images are overwritten automatically.

Note: All the particle size data is kept in a CSV file which is a much smaller size and allows you to store data over a longer timeline.

Most of our systems use a 1.2MP camera and the images average 180KB each, so 1000MB of storage can accommodate approximately 5600 images.

Running 24 hours per day the system can roughly save the following amount of images:

If you are taking 1 image every 20 seconds you would have 4,320 images per day. ~31.2 hours

If you are taking 2 images every 20 seconds you would have 8,640 images per day. ~15.5 hours

If you are taking 3 images every 20 seconds you would have 12,960 images per day. ~10.3 hours
