4.8 Interviewing workstation set up

Before a workstation can be used GEIS must be installed to its local hard drive. This only needs to be done once. The steps are:

  1. Create a directory D:\GEIS\BIN\for GEIS on each workstation.
  2. Copy the GEIS files from C:\GEIS\BIN\to D:\GEIS\BIN\ as shown in Figure 2.

Once a project is ready for the survey to commence the workstations should be set up. This is done once for each project:

  1. Create a directory D:\GEIS\PROJECTS\MYCATI\ on each workstation for the project.
  2. Copy GEISAUTO.SAS and GEISCFG.SAS files for workstations from \GEIS\ETC\WORKSTATION\ to the project directory \GEIS\PROJECTS\MYCATI\. Edit the files as needed.
  3. Create a shortcut to GEIS on the workstation desk top. Use a command line similar to:
    sas.exe -config D:\GEIS\PROJECTS\MYCATI\GEISCFG.SAS -autoexec D:\GEIS\PROJECTS\MYCATI\GEISAUTO.SAS.
