The application was developed as an extension to ArcView GIS and ArcView GIS Tracking Analyst available from Environmental Systems Research Institute, Inc. Data collected during an inspection can be analyzed and presented using the various tools available in ArcView GIS or other GIS software. All source code for the application is written in ArcView GIS Avenue programming language and can be modified to individual requirements. Data management is conducted using a Microsoft Access database, and all information recorded in the Data Collection phase is stored in a database table. Microsoft Access software is not required for data collection, but is essential for database editing, queries, and report generation.
