The five basics to TopSpin! are: [1] SONG LIBRARY, which contains your station's collection of songs and artists [2] RECORD STORE RESEARCH, or song rankings that may be obtained from record outlets or distributors [3] CALLOUT RESEARCH, or song rankings that result from your own station's callouts and polling [4] NATIONAL CHART RESEARCH, or song rankings that are published by broadcast media pollsters [5] REQUEST LINE RESEARCH, or song rankings that are the result of your own station's call-in requests TopSpin! uses the information from these basic areas to analyze and generate a summary research report. A weighting factor may be applied to each individual research area. MAIN MENU The Main Menu allows you to select a major activity. Use the cursor keys [] to scroll the menu choices up and down. When the desired selection is highlighted, press the [Enter] key. Alternatively, you may press the key which corresponds to the number of a desired menu choice. The [Esc] key is used throughout this system to escape (exit) from or abort (quit) any activity. Normally, pressing [Esc] returns you to the previous (calling) menu. Pressing [Esc] during password entry terminates the TopSpin! program by returning you to the DOS prompt. Throughout most system activities, context sensitive on-line help is available by pressing the [F1] key. The Main Menu choices are further described as follows: RESEARCH REPORTS - Research reports are produced by analyzing the results of record store research, callout research, national chart research, and request line research. Weightings for each research type may be adjusted. RECORD STORE RESEARCH - Research from record stores may be entered into the system. Song names are selected from the song library. CALLOUT RESEARCH - Research from station callouts may be entered into the system. Song names are selected from the song library. NATIONAL CHART RESEARCH - Research from national record charts may be entered into the system. Song names are selected from the song library. REQUEST LINE RESEARCH - Research from station request lines may be entered into the system. Song names are selected from the song library. SONG LIBRARY MAINTENANCE - Song library maintenance should be performed on a regular basis to ensure that the research information is current and accurate. SYSTEM MAINTENANCE - Operating parameters such as color display, audio, and expanding (zoom) box toggles may be changed. Report headers (displayed on reports) may also be changed. PACK/REINDEX DATABASES - In the event that database index files become corrupted, or as a means of permanently removing deleted database file records, TopSpin! files may be packed and reindexed. *** END OF HELP ***(R)disk fulldisk full.NTXdisk full->->->CNLDMAUEUIUHELP .T..F.   9#ALNXY!9#$*L#Y CR DBTFĿͻȺ COMSPEC/c "[]|<>+=;,.DBF.DBF.DBF.DBF.DBT.DBT.DBT.DBT.TXT.TXT.MEM.MEM.FRM.LBL.TMP.PRN\/:\/:\/:*.* Abort Edit?

A table of summary information is displayed first. This summary shows the number of songs included in each type of research along with the current weighting to be applied to each type. You may change the current weighting before processing a report by pressing the [F2] key. You will then be prompted to enter new percentage values for each of the four research types. Note that the total of all individual percentages must equal 100%. Report information is displayed as the analysis is generated. Once the analysis is complete, all songs from the song library are displayed in order of research analysis rank (where the higher the score, the higher the ranking). The research report may be filed to a text (ASCII) file or may be printed out by pressing the [F9] key. *** END OF HELP *** (R)disk fulldisk fThis is the Song Library Maintenance activity.
