4 QC and Maintenance Checks First step for PM filter data is QC and Maintenance check data entryFirst step for PM filter data is QC and Maintenance check data entry Toolbox is structured to allow data entry forToolbox is structured to allow data entry for Flow Rate QC checksFlow Rate QC checks Every 5 sample maintenanceEvery 5 sample maintenance Monthly QC checksMonthly QC checks Bi-annual maintenanceBi-annual maintenance Annual maintenanceAnnual maintenance

5 AQS-related terms: Value in the green External Standard field determines if Toolbox formats as Precision (if No) or Bias (if Yes) AQS fileValue in the green External Standard field determines if Toolbox formats as Precision (if No) or Bias (if Yes) AQS file

6 Chain of Custody (COC) COC form of Toolbox tracksCOC form of Toolbox tracks SiteSite SamplerSampler Sampling date of filtersSampling date of filters Pollutant concentration data will be associated with the site, instrument, date, using the data you enter in COC formPollutant concentration data will be associated with the site, instrument, date, using the data you enter in COC form Important to enter the data correctlyImportant to enter the data correctly

7 COC Data Entry Stages Data are entered in three stages, each with a different form in ToolboxData are entered in three stages, each with a different form in Toolbox Enter data 1.When you receive tared filters from weighing lab 2.After you place filters in the field 3.After you have retrieved filters and sent them back to lab

9 Red border shows this is a key field, and the filter ID ties all the data together Next FilterID using next record buttons

10 Field Data Sheet

11 Field Data Sheets Enter data from your hand- written field data sheets in the Field Data Sheet form of ToolboxEnter data from your hand- written field data sheets in the Field Data Sheet form of Toolbox You can print these blank forms for taking into the fieldYou can print these blank forms for taking into the field

12 Importing Filter-Based Data Two types of filter-based data to importTwo types of filter-based data to import 1.First, import data downloaded from sampler ( ) 1.First, import data downloaded from sampler (run data) 2.Then, import data from weighing lab () 2.Then, import data from weighing lab (lab data) You must enter all COC Data and Field Data before you import either data typeYou must enter all COC Data and Field Data before you import either data type Run data must be imported 1 st, before you import lab dataRun data must be imported 1 st, before you import lab data

13 Same Concepts as Continuous Import Data files to import are comma-delimited text files with column (field) namesData files to import are comma-delimited text files with column (field) names If data files not in this format, easy to convert (see SOP)If data files not in this format, easy to convert (see SOP) File name must be changed to NewImport.txt and saved on C driveFile name must be changed to NewImport.txt and saved on C drive Keep a copy of the original file elsewhere (e.g., CD or other external storage)Keep a copy of the original file elsewhere (e.g., CD or other external storage) Data moves through its own pipeline of tablesData moves through its own pipeline of tables Data ImportData Verification Archive

14 Filter run data file import (file downloaded off sampler)

15 Moving Filter Run (off sampler) Data Down Its Own Pipeline

Filter run (off sampler) data into archive table: 16

17 Import of LAB data file

18 Import of Lab data has same process:
