CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION TO COMPASS-EI
1.1 About COMPASS-EI
COMPASS-EI (“WinCeis”) is an emission inventory data management system. It is the
Emission Inventory module of the COMpliance ASsurance System – the COMPASS – which is
distributed by PDC Corp to manage a broad range of compliance data related to air quality. EI
utilizes the user’s current equipment and equipment configuration, and it enables users to prepare
emission inventory information, including emission rates, material usage, equipment parameters,
and operating schedules for reporting to the regulatory agency for a particular emission inventory
year. For Texas EI users, the system also enables the user to revise the data and send it back to
the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) electronically (subject to agency
approval of format and specifications). Paper forms are often required under the agency’s
reporting requirements, such as in New York, which does not accept electronic reports.
Users can insert as many scenarios of emission calculation methods and process data as they
wish in the COMPASS-Calcs module without affecting the data that will actually be seen by the
regulatory agency. Information entered in EI is, for the most part, intended to be seen by the
agency in order to meet a reporting requirement.
To retrieve EI data from industries, state agencies typically distribute an EI Questionnaire. This
manual familiarizes users with both the EI program and agency systems that interface directly
with EI data.
Emission Inventory data is considered proprietary information by many of the companies that
provide it. Data such as fuel usage and feed/product materials could offer competitors insight
into a user's production schedules as well as costs. Therefore, data security was an important
concern during the development of EI. Electronic reports to the agency are automatically
encrypted prior to sending the report, as further described in this manual.
1.2 System Requirements
The following platform is recommended to operate the EI application:
Pentium II PC running at 250 MHz. with 64 megabytes of RAM and 50 megabytes
of free disk space.
The following platform is the minimum required to operate the EI application:
Pentium I PC running at 90 MHz. with 25 megabytes of free disk space and
32megabytes of RAM to obtain reasonable performance.
The following operating systems are supported:
Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows XP or Windows
NT Operating Environment, (all Trademarks acknowledged).
The CONFIG.SYS file should have the file handles set to 60 to run certain DOS
extension programs for the EI program.
Certain Windows control panel settings, such as for Date format, must be in the"
standard” or default position. Also, users may need to modify their Display
properties if all windows and command buttons are not visible in the EI screens.
COMPASS-EI–Manual – Chapter 1 Page 2
1.3 Installation Instructions
Directions for the installation are furnished in a separate document entitled “Installation
Instructions”, which is provided with this operations manual. EI should always be loaded onto a
local or network hard disk under the directory structure: <drive>:\…\PDC\ACM\EI. The
installation program creates this structure below the target installation folder chosen by the user.
1.4 Using Help
Help is provided on-line with EI and is as extensive as the printed documentation. The online
help allows you to search by topic or keyword for the area in which you need help, and it
categorizes and defines words and phrases, giving you a clear picture as to what you are doing.
When you click on the Help menu item, a dialog box will appear with selections for using the
help features of the system. Users can search for a specific topic of interest by using the Index or
by reviewing subject areas. Users may also review the version number of EI.
1.5 Technical Support of EI
Technical Support of the System is provided by PDC Corp. Please be aware that support
technicians will be handling many users, so you can help them by doing the following:
Careful reading of printed and on-line documentation of the System. Please carefully read
this documentation to be sure that your question or problem has not been addressed.
Make sure that the Data Sources section in your control panel is configured properly to
run the EI database, which is called ACM.db. If you are not using Oracle, then the drivers
for ODBC will also need to be loaded for proper program operations.
If you are running on a Network, check with your system administrator to make sure your
workstation is configured correctly to run the program and connect to the database, and
make sure that you have the rights to modify a file in the drive and directory where EI is
loaded (namely, the database file ACM.db)
If your issue is not addressed in the documentation, and if you are satisfied that your
system configuration is fine, feel free to call PDC Corp. Please have information
available about your system, including Windows version and type of network.
1.6 Getting Started with EI
The installation routine will automatically create ODBC connections, path adjustments, and a
COMPASS folder with an icon for EI. From the Start menu on the Taskbar, point to Programs…,
COMPASS…, then click on the EI icon to directly access the EI “Command and Control”
screen.

1.7 Importing Emission Inventory Data and Logging Into EI
Users will be asked to enter their User ID and Password after starting up the EI program. (See
Figure 1.1)
Figure 1.1
If you are running EI with an Oracle database, this information must be entered, and it must be
valid, for the program to run. Otherwise, this information may be left blank. When you are
finished, click on OK. Upon logging into EI, the “Command and Control” screen of EI will
appear.
Importing data from a spreadsheet is fast and easy, providing that the data supplied to the
program is in the prescribed format, based on Texas (TCEQ) data download standards. From the
Emissions Maintenance menu, simply click on the Import Emissions. In the window that opens
(See Figure 1.2), enter the path and file name to the Emissions Source File, choose an account
number from the drop-down list, select a year to
import, and choose the Import Option at the bottom of the screen.

Figure 1.2
Please note that the user needs to use the COMPASS Utilities module for importing a TCEQ
download file into COMPASS EI database.
1.8 Importing TCEQ Emissions Download File
Users are required to log into PDC's COMPASS Utilities module in order to import TCEQ's
download file into the database. Users will be asked to enter their User ID and Password after
starting up the Utilities program (See Figure 1.3)
If you are running Utilities with an Oracle database, this information must be entered, and it must
be valid, for the program to run. Otherwise, this information may be left blank. When you are
finished, click on OK. Upon logging into Utilities, the “Command and Control” screen of
Utilities will appear.

CHAPTER 2: SETTING UP ENTITIES IN EI
2.1 The Command and Control Screen Navigation
The design of EI is unique, in that all operations are launched from a Command and Control
(C&C) screen. (See Figure 2.1) This C&C screen is accessed when the EI program icon is
clicked on from the COMPASS folder. When the C&C screen is accessed, all related database
tables are opened up, which speeds up later retrievals and updates to the database.
Figure 2.1
The C&C screen provides fast retrievals of lists and data entry screens. Adding or changing a
database element is never more than three mouse clicks away, starting from the C&C screen.
There are two additional levels of EI screen navigation beyond the C&C screen:
1. List screen; and
2. Detail or data entry screen.
When users double-click on an item in the appropriate window on the C&C screen (a technique
commonly referred to as “drill down”) a List screen appears. The List screen includes command
buttons at the bottom of the screen that provide additional functions, such as Add, Delete, Edit,
Return (to the C&C screen), etc. Clicking in the gray area of a window brings up a data entry
