EQWin models the entities found in the environmental sampling domain:
Each of these entities has extensive built-in attributes (data fields). You can also add your own attributes to meet site-specific needs.
EQWin helps you handle the sample data from lab and field reports quickly, accurately and easily.
The daily realities of managing sampling records can be complicated:
A powerful, versatile sample data import system
EQWin's import system features 35-point data error checks and 33-point data quality warnings specifically designed for environmental data:
* Doing these checks at the data import stage helps with early detection and resolution of possible problems. They can also be done via reports after incoming data is committed to the database.
EQWin transparently and automatically handles the special results, such as less-than values, that occur frequently in environmental data.
Less-than values Many results are less than the laboratory analytical method detection level. EQWin accepts, stores and uses less-than values as entered. They are used on outputs (reports, graphs and maps) in the same way as any other results. They can be included in statistical calculations with a definable factor applied, and on reports they can be shown with various display options.
Greater-than values These are supported and handled similarly to less-than values.
Significant figures Significant figures are an important part of sample records because they indicate analytical precision. EQWin stores and reports significant figures exactly as originally entered.
Qualitative (non-numeric) results EQWin supports non-numeric results. For example, you may have a sample attribute for color that is entered as text. You can create a parameter called "Color", enter values for it and include it on reports in the same way as for a measured value such as temperature.
EQWin lets you quickly and accurately match your sample results with standards, clearly indicating any exceedances. You can set up any number of standards, which may include:
EQWin supports both fixed and calculated standard values.
Standards are used on reports, graphs and maps. They are also used during data entry to detect and highlight exceedances in new, incoming sample data.
Turn your data into information with reports, graphs, maps and queries.
Create reports easily with the EQWin Report Designer
Use this powerful tool to create reports visually and interactively. As you choose data and options, EQWin uses a portion of your data selection to give you instant feedback about the effect of your choices.
Create a report in a few simple steps:
Control the appearance and content of your reports:
Analyze trends with graphs
Visualize data with integrated mapping
Browse your data with SQL queries
Select and browse data from the database with an SQL wizard or by typing your own queries. Query results are displayed in a table that can be copied, printed or sent to Excel.
Save and share your work
Your reports, graphs, maps and queries can be saved for reuse. For instance you might design a monthly report, save it, reopen it next month, change the dates and run it again.
It's also easy to share your finished designs with other users by simply saving them in the database, thus leveraging expertise and saving time and work.
EQWin interacts easily with other office software to support data entry and reporting. It works with all versions of Microsoft Office from Office 2003 to Office 16, both 32-bit and 64-bit. You can:
Sending a report or other output from EQWin to Excel is simple and direct. It's exactly like printing to a printer except that instead of clicking a print button, you click an Excel button.
EQWin is a Windows application that can run both standalone and on Window networks.
