Differences between CSPro and CSProX

1.Auto-complete in alpha fields. Optional use of the predefined prefix in other variables (ex., cities in a State; State being the prefix)


2.Assisted coding combining the auto-complete algorithm with a key word search (applicable to any open variable such as occupation or cause of death, etc.

3.Powerful function to check consistency between two or more variables automatically generating buttons with each of the possible alternatives to correct the conflict;by selecting one of the buttons the cursor (flow) is positioned in the corresponding field; return to the place of origin requires a single click of the mouse.

4.Multilanguage dictionary allowing the dynamic change of one language to the other during the interview.

5.Compilation of the applications error messages and the message file, verifying the consistency between one parameter and the other

6.Functions to manage the positioning of the screen in the pocket PCs (landscape or portrait)

7.Functions to read the coordinates given directly by the GPS, being stored in the fields passed as functions parameters.

8.Functions to read directly from an Excel spread sheet

9.Arrays and matrixes accept the respective occurrences labels

10.Classification (ranking) of a list with automatic exclusion of the selected options

11.Encrypt and Decrypt texts through the use of the 256-bit AES algorithm

What is CSProX?

It is a powerful platform that generates applications for:


• Smart data capture (local or remote) covering

 CAPI (Computer Assisted Personal Interview)

 CATI (Computer Assisted Telephone Interview)

 CASI (Computer Assisted Self-answered Interview)

 Smart Data Entry

 CAPI Interviews or smart data capture designed by a pocket pc running under Windows Mobile 5.0

• Edition, Manipulation, Data Creation and/or Recoding and Export to SPSS, STATA, SAS and comma (,) delimited data in batch processes.

• Production of variables crossing in order to analyze the data.
