AQS Fast Track
ITEP has assembled sequence of 14 short videos that provide targeted, bare-bones demonstrations of the
basics of AQS. These are not designed to be a comprehensive training on all the functions of AQS, but instead provide demonstrations
on those functions that are used routinely, including:
Obtaining AQS and ENSC login credentials
Accessing AQS
Downloading any data in AQS, including data from any other site nationally
Making sense of downloaded data by importing into MS Excel
Checking AQS for site and monitor codes that may already exist
Downloading existing site and monitor codes for yours or any sites
Creating a site in AQS
Creating a monitor in AQS
Uploading "raw" (measurement value) data
Uploading QC data
Using the Maintain and Correct forms to edit your data and site/monitor information
AQS Reports and which ones you should be using
Data certification
I need this training now because uploading data to AQS is in my current workplan. What do I do?
If you are unable to access these videos due to bandwidth or other restrictions, please contact Melinda Ronca-Battista for a complimentary DVD.
It may take you a few days to obtain your AQS login credentials, and this process is explained in the 1st video. The 2nd video
demonstrates how to access the best AQS user’s guide, which is relatively new and will answer many of your questions. Continue using
the videos as a rough guide to the most commonly asked questions. The videos are ordered so that each video demonstrates one step of
the process in short segments, so that you can watch a video, conduct the process, then move on to the next video, etc.
The videos are not a comprehensive guide to all the aspects of AQS, but instead cover short, targeted activities that most people must
do as part of their exciting AQS experience. The videos do guide you through collecting the information you need to gather about your
site and monitors in order to set up the AQS database so that you can upload data, how to check to see what information AQS already has
about your sites and monitors, and how to conduct most commonly-encountered processes in AQS.
