Modeling

To Do List

• Figure out the MATLAB memory leak
  • I suspect this is because I'm not closing the image files properly in the MATLAB script that runs, or it could be something more annoying.
  • Does the leak influence the timing of the events, by making the image processing take too long? (e.g. why does the timing graph get noisy after awhile?)
  • Is it the MATLAB thread that blows up or the LabView?
• output the direction of sorting to the output file
• Make the list of experiments to evaluate the device performance limits.
• Work on the model and compare to experimental results.
• How much faster can we drive it given the timing?
• Are there more or less cells in a sort vs a screen?
  • No, looked at this before last lab meeting, but should write it up.
• Do fluctuations in the total cell count correlate with anything?
• Move all the pictures from the last run to the same HD (back up the ones from the long zigzag run).
  • Waiting for the new drive to come in.
• Clean up the MATLAB scripts (particularly the image processing, have lots of old versions lying around).
• Why do I see any variability in the timing?
• Update MATLAB since the license is running out.

Done

• Change the code so that when flipping based on the CFP it is the moving average that is used, rather than a single image.
