Fall 2016
The aim of the Floc Size and Count App for the semester is to combine the two separate working parts of the program (data acquisition and analysis) into one user-friendly executable that could be used in the lab. This would provide user feedback for further development of the program. The team also aims to design a hardware component that could be easily used in the plants and in the lab experiments.

Turbidity measurements provide the primary source of performance monitoring at many water treatment plants. Turbidity provides an excellent way to measure overall plant performance, but it does not provide insight into why the water treatment plants are performing well or poorly. The team started the implementation of an easy-to-use desktop application that would measure floc size distribution that is written in LabVIEW. The team completed image acquisition and analysis parts for the final application. The connection of these two seperate programs is under progressseparate programs were not finished this semester.
The team also increased readability of the existing code, allowing for future programmers to more easily edit the software in need be. The team worked on adding comments to the existing code in order to further ease the process of editing.
