Total Tracking Time

Total Tracking Time

This option specifies the total (experimental) time for which the video tape of an experiment is to be tracked. The primary limitation on the tracking time is the available hard disk space for the resulting tracking files. Samples of the experiment are taken at a spacing determined by [S Sample spacing]. For each such sample, 80+6*nPart bytes of storage are required, where nPart is the average number of particles in a sampled image.

Total tracking time ?

This entry specifies how long the tracking process will continue for. The time should be entered using the standard DigImage time format of minutes:seconds. The time entered should be positive, even if tracking will be backwards in time. The maximum time period which may be tracked is determined by the length of the video tape, the available hard disk space or 32767 samples, whichever is smaller.
