Since the RAC Plus II has internal memory of up to 3500 events, it is not
practical to try to view the data on the display on an event by event basis.
It is necessary to download this data to a computer for processing.
The output format of the RAC Plus II is a binary format, which means it
cannot be read with standard text capturing software (as could be done with
earlier RAC models).
The JAMAR WinRAC Plus software is designed to retrieve the data from
the RAC Plus II and generate a report showing the data collected in the
eld. You can also save the data in a variety of standard formats (Excel
spreadsheet, Access database, comma-delimited text le) so that you can
work with the data using your own software.
The software is Windows based and is compatible with all Windows ver-
sions 98 and higher. You need a custom cable (available from JAMAR) to
interface the RAC Plus II to your computer.
The WinRAC Plus software has the following features:
• Reads directly from the RAC Plus II
• Converts event codes to plain language text (You can edit and store
different schemes that translate an event code to a text phrase.)
• Capable of merging multiple surveys together
• Insert/delete events from existing surveys
