Existing Project - Opens an existing STATSGO project (*.stp) Save Statsgo Project As.. - Allows user to save project with all STATSGO settings. About Statsgo Extension - Displays information about Program.
To run STATSGO DATA ANALYST: 1.Start ArcView, load the STATSGO extension by clicking on FILE and EXTENSIONS checking the STATSGO DATA ANALYST extension, you will see the short sentence description and check the box in front of the item, then click on OK. The splash screen of the STATSGO DATA ANALYST will appear for few seconds. That means you properly loaded the STATSGO extension.
2. The open wizard menu will appear on the screen. You can follow the menu to start a new project or open an existing STATSGO DATA ANALYST file. If the open wizard menu disappears, then you can start your new project in the pull-down menu in the menu bar on the top of your program screen. If you are not sure what to do at this point, then click on CANCEL button, it will take you one step back. If you want to proceed, click on NEXT. 3. Another menu will prompt you to select the CD drive. Be sure to select the correct CD drive for the STATSGO data. If you are incorrect, simply start again. |

| 4. Another menu will prompt you to
select the state of your interest for the further data analysis. Use the pull-down menu to
select the state. The NEXT button is not active until you select a state. The BACK button
will take you back a step back. If you have previously copied the spatial coverage (or
shapefile) for the state (and comp and layer tables), then you can click the button under
Non CD data.
|
| 5. As soon as you click on NEXT button
the data is read from the CDROM. You will be prompted for a filename to copy the coverage
to, as it must be edited. A Message Box will ask if you want to link the data tables at
this point or not. You can click on YES for linking, or NO for unlinking. Because we need
to use all the tables for data analysis clicking yes is recommended. If you prefer not to
link the tables, then you can use the pull-down menu in STATSGO to link the tables at the
appropriate time. Non-Cdrom users will be presented with dialog boxes asking for coverage, comp table and layer table paths. Please supply them, if they are incorrect, the program will announce there has been an error, and you may start again. Once the data has been read into ArcView you will need to link the data. See Linking Data under View.Continue to Analysis? YES

SAVING A STATSGO PROJECT ONLY open STATSGO created *.apr files by using 'Existing Project' under 'Statsgo' in the project window.
|
|
OPENING AN EXISTING STATSGO PROJECT WHAT IS THE *.STP FILE USED FOR? The *.stp file is used to hold settings from the previous STATSGO operating session. Settings such as linking, and all of the options from the 'Analysis Options' are saved to the *.stp file. NEVER EDIT ANY *.STP FILE - IRREPRIBLE DAMAGE WILL OCCUR.
