Plate Document
File Size
The SDS software can produce plate document files of varying sizes, depending on
the type of runs for which they are created. Table 1-6 lists the average sizes of typical
files produced by the SDS software.
IMPORTANT! Because of memory constraints, the SDS Enterprise Database cannot
save real-time plate documents greater than 40 MB.

‡The file size for a real-time run depends on the length of the run and the configuration of the
data collection options in the plate document. Longer runs and runs configured to collect
data at multiple stages of the method can be considerably larger than the 15 to 25 MB
average.
