How PPG Works
It's simple. Using pull down menus, you select the "buildingblocks" -- frames and nodes -- you need to create and label a flowchart of your data collection tasks. Frames group nodes into a logical sequence for each data collection task; nodes customize the data collection sequence, format and style within each frame.You simply point, click and drag the mouse from one frame or node to another to create the application .

Frames and nodes can be created, edited and linked in any sequence to fit your data collection needs. You can quickly modify your application as your work environment changes. You have complete control from start to finish.

Subroutines
A subroutine contains nodes that execute program steps, very much like a frame. The difference is that a subroutine contains functions that can be referenced within any of the program frames. Rather than repeating the nodes for each frame, you can put them in a subroutine on the Frames level and then use a Call node to reference the subroutine.

Now all you need to do is install your application into your portable. Once that's done, you're ready to collect data.
