Particulate Data Management Tool (PDMT) FAQ

Frequently Asked/Answered Questions

(Q) I modified/added a site using the Site screen, but when I go to the Monitor screen, it does not appear in the pull-down list. What's wrong?
(A) You must specificy the relevant State that the monitors are in using the Configuration screen.

(Q) I use the filter events screen, but I would like it to sort by date rather than group number. Can this be done?
(A) Yes, position the cursor in the 'When' field, then hit the Access Sort button, which has an 'A' over a letter 'Z' and a down arrow.

(Q) Why doesn't the report I am interested in work?
(A) The AIRS Monitor ID is critical to most reports and is provided by the monitor input data in user defined fields. You must program the AIRS Monitor ID into User Field 1 for either Anderson monitors or R and P monitors.

(Q) How do you import multiple import data files without having to re-specify (navigating to) the subdirectory where they are stored on each import?
(A) Version 1.0.1 remembers where the location of the previous import file, decreasing the number of steps required to import multiple files.
