Add a New Sampling Event

 

Here are the steps to following when adding new data to an existing ChemPoint database if you are importing your data from the laboratory:

 

  1. After receiving your analysis results, use the Universal Importer to import the data from files provided by the laboratory. Required dates, locations, and containers will be created automatically.
  2. Use the Facility Parameter view to make sure that parameter names for the most recent sampling event are the same as the parameter names in the existing database. Select Data | Combine to change the name of a parameter to the name of a parameter that already exists in the database.
  3. At this time, you can export your data to ChemStat for statistical analysis, or create reports of the data in the Report view.

 

 

Follow these steps if you are not importing your data from the laboratory:

  1. In the Parameter Groups view, create groups of parameters commonly analyzed together.
  2. In the Sampling Event view, create a new sampling event. Enter the date and information for the event.
  3. Also in the Sampling Event view, drag-and-drop the desired parameters and parameter groups to the desired sampling locations. If a sample container does not exist, it will be created automatically. You can also create container manually. Now is the time to enter any preliminary container information.
  4. After you have received the parameter analyses from the lab, use the Post Analysis view to enter the measured analyte concentrations for each of the parameters.
  5. At this time, you can export your data to ChemStat for statistical analysis, or create reports of the data in the Report view.
