12. 6 Emissions Inventory Sections 3 and 4 of the ADMS User Guide describe how to set up ADMS model runs when there is a small amount of source data involved by typing the data into boxes in the interface However ADMS users will typically have a large volume of data for instance if they have compiled their own emissions inventory In that case rather than typing data into the interface the tools described in this section can be used to set up model runs and manipulate the data These tools use the ADMS Emissions Inventory which is a Microsoft Access database with a format such that the data can be directly imported into ADMS The available routes for getting from the raw emissions data to an ADMS upl file are illustrated in Figure 6 2 The route from raw data to a upl file followed by most users 15 via Steps B and E The route shown by Step I is for grid aggregated sources only although in Step G point road or grid sources may be imported and then aggregated These steps are described in the sections below The route shown by step J makes use of the Extract Sources From CSV File utility which provides an alternative method for importing sources this is described in Section 6 6 of the ADMS User Guide Another piece of CERC software EMIT an EMissions Inventory Toolkit is a convenient alternative way to prepare data corresponding to Steps A to B Further information about EMIT can be found at www cerc co uk environmental soft
