Input Data

Each dialog in this section allows you to input the raw data that will be fitted to models and exported to a database file. There are many ways in which you can speed up the process of entering information.

All tabular data inputs will only accept information that corresponds to the data range for that choice. If the data you have entered is outside the range, you will be prompted to enter the correct information.

It is possible to fill out the dialogs in any order and then verify missing information at any time by using the Data Checking feature.

Some data inputs in the General Information dialog fill automatically when you insert information into a particular data input. Here is a table of the most common data inputs that operate in this way and the information they affect.
