It requires very little knowledge of computers. No commands need to be memorized. The menus allow easy movement through the program so you can begin survey analysis in just a few minutes. The Status Line at the bottom of the screen displays the name of the currently loaded survey file. 1-2 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS IBM PC, XT, AT, OR PS/2 or compatible 512K One disk drive (hard drive recommended) Supported printer MS-DOS version 2.1 or later 1-3 CAPABILITIES OF SURVEY POWER SURVEY POWER can create surveys consisting of single choice, multiple choice, text, weighting, and numeric questions. Each survey can have up to 100 questions. The program will print the survey, allow recording of survey responses, perform complete, demographic, correlation, and text frequency analyses of the responses. Any analysis may be displayed, printed out or saved as an ASCII file to diskette. The blank survey can also be printed by a printer or saved as an ASCII file to diskette. Files created by SURVEY POWER can be kept on a separate diskette or subdirectory. The number of surveys that can be counted is limited only by the storage capacity of your diskette or hard disk and the limitations of DOS. A mouse can also select files and move through the menus and displays. Back ups of all survey and data files created by SURVEY POWER can be made by using the DOS COPY command of by using the Back-Up SURVEY POWER files selection of the EXTRA Menu.

SURVEY POWER Manual from WISCO Computing Page 9 FILE MENU 2-1 NEW This selection removes all survey questions, responses and survey analyses from the computer's memory. 2-2 LOAD A SURVEY After making this selection, a menu of all survey question files in the current subdirectory will be displayed. Use the up and down arrow keys to move the cursor from the file to be selected. Then press the Enter key. 2-3 CREATE A SURVEY This selection is used to create a new survey. You will enter a new survey question file name, title, and survey questions. You can create as many surveys as you want and store each under its' own file name on a diskette. The title and subtitles will be centered on all print outs to a printer or diskette files. 2-4 ENTERING SURVEY QUESTIONS 2-4-1 CURSOR MOVEMENT You can move between the questions and responses by pressing the up and down arrow keys. Movement is in a continuous loop, so pressing the down arrow will immediately take the cursor to the first line of the question. Editing help is continuously displayed in the lower part of the display. Up to 100 survey questions can be entered. Each question in a survey may be up to three lines long. If the question is shorter that three lines, leave the remaining question lines blank. If the equal symbol (=) is entered as the first line of the question, the 3 lines of the previous question will be displayed again. This will speed entry when questions are very similar. SURVEY POWER Manual from WISCO Computing Page 10 2-4-2 QUESTION TYPES Five question types are currently supported. Question types can not be revised after any survey responses have been entered. The question type determines the amount of space that will be reserved in the response file. Other question types, based on user requests will be supported in future versions of SURVEY POWER. TYPE A Enter the letter A if only 1 of the listed choices will be an acceptable response. The type A single choice question allows only one response (ABCDEFGHI). TYPE B Enter the letter B if more than one of the listed choices will be acceptable responses. The type B multiple choice question with equal weighting allows up to 9 letters (ABCDEFGHI) to be entered. TYPE C Enter the letter C if the responses are to be weighted. Reversed weighting converts responses and total the ranked weights. (1 will be converted to a weight of 9, 2 will be converted to a weight of 8, etc. Blank responses will be assigned a weight of 0). Actual weighting keeps the assigned number as the weight. TYPE D Press the letter D if the responses to this question will be numbers (integers) that can be added when the survey is analyzed. Totals will be valid up to 32767. TYPE E Enter the letter E for the question type for text entry of up to 26 characters. SURVEY POWER Manual from WISCO Computing Page 11 2-4-3 ENTERING RESPONSE TEXT Up to 9 text responses can be entered for each question. If the 9 responses for a question are the same as the previous question, enter the equal sign (=) for the first response and press the Enter key. The responses from the previous question will be quickly copied to the current question. The tenth response position is reserved for the no response totals. To review previous questions, press the PgUp key. To go to the next question, press the PgDn key. You can save questions and response text at any time by pressing Alt-S (hold the Alt key down and press the S key). When you have finished, press the ESCape key to leave this display. As a safety measure, you will be asked if you want to save this information before returning to the main menu. If you did not previously save the questions and responses, you should press Y for Yes. 2-5 PRINT BLANK SURVEY This selection is used to print a blank survey without response totals. 2-6 SAVE AS This selection allows you to make a duplicate copy of the question and response text. This makes it easy to use the same questions to compare surveys taken at different times, for example year to year changes. 2-7 EXIT SURVEY POWER This selection is used to leave this program. SURVEY POWER Manual from WISCO Computing Page 12 EDIT MENU 3-1 EDIT SURVEY TITLES This selection is used to edit previously entered survey title and subtitles. Editing help is also displayed. Use the Up and down arrow keys to move between the lines. Press Y when you are ready to continue. You will be asked if you want to save this information to your survey file. Answer either Y for Yes or N for No. 3-2 EDITING SURVEY QUESTIONS AND RESPONSE TEXT This selection is used to edit previously entered question and response text. Questions and response text may be edited after responses have been entered. You can not change the question type or add or delete any questions to a survey after responses have been entered. 3-3 ADD QUESTIONS This selection adds questions and response text to a previously saved survey. You can not add any survey questions or response text after any responses have been recorded for this survey. 3-4 DELETING SURVEY QUESTIONS A survey question can only be deleted if no responses have been entered for this survey. 3-5 SPELL CHECK SURVEY POWER includes a 100,000 word (730 KB) dictionary to check your spelling. You can also add new words to a customizable user dictionary. SURVEY POWER Manual from WISCO Computing Page 13 RESPONSE MENU 4-1 RECORD RESPONSES This selection is used to record responses to the selected survey. The survey was selected when it was loaded from the FILE MENU. Survey responses are saved after each set of survey responses has been entered. The number of surveys that can be analyzed is limited only by the storage capacity of your diskette or hard disk. Help for movement to different questions and to review previous questions is displayed near the bottom of the screen. The question type determines which help messages are displayed. After the response has been entered to your last survey question, press Alt-S to Save this set of responses. After saving these responses, the first question will be displayed again so you can begin entering your next set of responses. At any time during the recording of responses, an analysis may be obtained. The analysis can be either displayed, printed out on paper or saved as an ASCII file on a diskette. The type A single choice question allows only one response (ABCDEFGHI). After pressing one of these letters, the next question will be displayed. The type B multiple choice question with equal weighting allows up to 9 letters (ABCDEFGHI) to be entered. Press the letters, then the Enter key to move to the next question. The response letters do not have to be in any particular order because they are weighted equally. The type C ranking question allows only the numbers 1 to 9 to be entered. If the corresponding response is left blank, it will not be used in the weighting. Press the Tab key to move from one entry square to the next square. SURVEY POWER currently supports two methods of weighting. Weighting methods are described with the Settings Menu. SURVEY POWER Manual from WISCO Computing Page 14 Responses to a type D question are totalled when the survey is analyzed. Only integers can be entered. Totals up to 32767 will be valid. Press the Enter key after each number is entered. You can leave the position blank to represent 0. The type E question allows for text entry responses. Each response may be up to 26 characters long. Press the Enter key to move to the next question. These responses can also be totalled to find the 30 most common responses. 4-2 REVISE RESPONSES After selecting the survey file, you will be asked the question number. A chart displays the survey number and responses. Scroll through the chart using the up and down arrow keys to display the responses to be revised. The chart will scroll as you reach the top or bottom to display more responses. Use the tab and shift-tab keys to move left and right between responses for type C and D questions. After finishing your revisions, press the ESCape key. The press Y for Yes to save the revised responses. 4-3 DELETE SURVEY RESPONSES This selection removes responses for one survey. For example, you may have put in the responses to a survey twice. Obviously, your results would be wrong. The total number of surveys will be displayed. You will be asked to enter the survey number to delete. Enter the number, and the results will be removed. The number of surveys will be decreased by one. If you had previously performed an analysis, a new analysis must be done because the data has changed. If you do not wish to remove any responses, press the Escape key to return to the Main Menu. SURVEY POWER Manual from WISCO Computing Page 15 COMPLETE AND PARTIAL MENUS The COMPLETE MENU allows analysis of all surveys questions. The PARTIAL MENU allows detailed analysis of one or two questions at a time. Each analysis can be viewed, printed with a printer, or exported to an ASCII file or Lotus .WKS file. 5-1 INFORMATION The information selection describes the difference between total, demographic, correlation, text frequency, numerical detail, and weighting frequency analyses. 5-2 TOTAL ANALYSIS A total analysis calculates totals of all responses and questions. The question total is calculated based on the question type. 5-3 DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS A demographic analysis totals all surveys for any question and choice. For example, the selected question could have a choice of either male or female. A demographic analysis provides totals to all questions when the respondent chose female to the selected question. A demographic analysis can be made from a respondents single choice or Multiple choices (for example, the respondents chose either choice A or B). A Demographic (2) analysis provides totals to all questions when a respondent matches the choices of 2 questions. Demographic (3), (4), and (5) provides totals to all survey questions when the respondent matches the choices of (3), (4), or (5) questions. 5-4 CORRELATION ANALYSIS A correlation checks for relationships between choices made for two survey questions. For each choice of the first question, the totals of all choices of the second question are found. Question types C and D (numerical entry) does not support correlation analysis. 5-5 TEXT FREQUENCY ANALYSIS This analysis is used to determine the frequency of text entries for a type E question. The 10 most frequent responses can be displayed when entering and revising responses by performing this analysis. The 30 most common responses will be included when totals are printed or saved as ASCII or Lotus .WKS files. 5-6 NUMERICAL DETAIL ANALYSIS This analysis calculates totals, averages, minimums, maximums, and response counts for each choice of a selected question. The selected question must be either Type C or D. The Demographic Numerical Analysis requires the first question to be either Type A or B. The second question can be either Type C or D. This analysis calculates totals, averages, minimums, maximums, and response counts of the second question if the demographic choice of the first question is matched. 5-7 WEIGHTING DETAIL ANALYSIS This selection requires a Type C question. This analysis is used to determine the frequency that each choice of the selected question is chosen. 5-8 VIEW/PRINT AN ANALYSIS This selection is used to view data that has been retrieved or created by an analysis. 5-8-1 VIEW/PRINT COMPLETE MENU ANALYSES The Up and Down arrows will move the cursor to the data immediately above or below the current position. Pressing Tab and Shift-Tab moves the cursor between the data fields. Pressing Alt-P will print the complete summary of the question with the check mark. Additional cursor movement directions are displayed at the bottom of the screen. SURVEY POWER Manual from WISCO Computing Page 16 Pressing Alt-Q will Quickly Display detailed information about the question with the check mark. The complete question, response text, responses, and percentage of total responses will be displayed. Percentages are calculated to the nearest whole number for type A and B questions. Type C questions display the weighted totals and number of responses to each choice. Type D questions display totals. Pressing Alt-A will export the single question summary to an ASCII file on diskette. ASCII files can be imported in almost any word processor for final formatting before publication. The file name will be Q##.ASC. The ## will be replaced by the question number. Additional cursor movement instructions are displayed at the bottom of the screen. Pressing Alt-P will print a copy of the single question summary to your printer. 5-8-2 VIEW/PRINT A CORRELATION ANALYSIS After selecting two questions to correlate, a chart is displayed indicating how the responses for the choices of the first selected question match the choices made for the second selected question. To print a copy of this correlation summary, use the menu selection "Print to Printer". 5-8-3 VIEW/PRINT A TEXT FREQUENCY ANALYSIS After selecting a type E question, the most frequent responses for the question will be displayed. To print a copy of this text frequency summary, use the menu selection "Print to Printer". 5-8-4 VIEW/PRINT A NUMERICAL DETAIL ANALYSIS This selection will display a chart of the selected Type C or D question. In addition to the totals, the average, minimum, maximum, and response count for each choice of the selected question will be displayed. To print a copy of this summary, use the menu selection "Print to Printer". 5-8-5 VIEW/PRINT A WEIGHTED FREQUENCY DETAIL This selection displays a chart of the frequency each choice was chosen for a type C question. To print a copy of this summary, use the menu selection "Print to Printer". 5-9 PRINTING AN ANALYSIS This selection will print the most recently performed analysis with this menu to the printer. 5-10 EXPORT TO AN ASCII FILE This selection will create an analysis file on the export drive. An ASCII file is readable by most programs. SURVEY POWER will add the extension .ASC to the survey file name. If the subdirectory doesn't exist, SURVEY POWER will ask if the new subdirectory should be created. The export drive was selected with the SETTINGS MENU. This ASCII file will be the last analysis (correlation, text entry, numerical, or weighting detail) performed with this menu. 5-11 EXPORT TO A LOTUS .WKS FILE This selection creates an analysis file on the export drive that can be read directly by spreadsheet programs that can read .WKS files. SURVEY POWER will add the extension .WKS to the survey file name. If the subdirectory doesn't exist, SURVEY POWER will ask if the new subdirectory should be created. These files make it easy to graph an analysis with LOTUS 1-2-3. The export drive was selected with the SETTINGS MENU. The created file will be the last partial analysis (correlation, text entry, numerical, or weighting detail) that was performed. SURVEY POWER Manual from WISCO Computing Page 17 SETTINGS MENU 6-1 PERCENTAGE CALCULATION METHODS Percentages can be calculated from either total responses or total number of surveys. A demographic analysis always uses total number of responses. 6-2 PRINTING THE DEMOGRAPHIC COVER SHEET A cover sheet can be printed for Demographic Analysis indicating which questions and choices were chosen for the calculations. 6-3 TABLES WITH MISSING DATA If there is no matching data, either a zero or space can be displayed and printed. 6-4 WEIGHTING CALCULATION METHODS Type C questions can be weighted with either actual or reversed numbers. Actual uses the response for the weight. For example, a question could state "Rank your top 3 reasons for ..." The highest ranking is considered to be 1, the lowest 9. The lowest number would be considered the most preferred. If Reversed weighting is used, SURVEY POWER converts the responses to a ranked weight. (1 will be converted to a weight of 9, 2 will be converted to a weight of 8, etc. Blank responses will be assigned a weight of 0). 6-5 PRINTING THE COMPANY HEADING If Yes is selected, the Company name and address entered on the next 4 lines of this menu will be centered and printed on the first page of reports printed by SURVEY POWER. 6-6 DRIVE CONTAINING SURVEYS AND DATA This selection is used to change the current drive or sub-directory that contains the survey questions and responses. If the subdirectory doesn't exist, SURVEY POWER will ask if the new subdirectory you entered should be created. SURVEY POWER Manual from WISCO Computing Page 18 After making this selection, you enter the drive and subdirectory. Leave the entry blank to store the files created by SURVEY POWER in the same subdirectory as the SURVEY.EXE program. 6-7 DRIVE FOR EXPORTING DATA This selection is used to change the current drive or sub-directory that will contain the Lotus .WKS and ASCII files. If the subdirectory doesn't exist, SURVEY POWER will ask if the new subdirectory you entered should be created. After making this selection, you enter the drive and subdirectory. Leave the entry blank to store these files created by SURVEY POWER in the same subdirectory as the SURVEY.EXE program. 6-8 CHANGING SCREEN COLORS Screen colors may be changed to your personal preference, or because the regular colors may be hard to see on a lap top. Up to 127 color combinations may be used by SURVEY POWER. When this selection is made, a chart showing the 127 color combinations and their associated numbers is displayed.
