To set up system preferences, open the Site/Parameter screen from Configuration Editors and double-click the System icon (Figure 3-1). The System is the agency or area, such as Knox County or State of Tennessee. Typically, each agency setup will only have one System (a second system could be used to help separate, for example, air toxics or water quality data from the other quality data), but it is possible to set up more than one by clicking the Add System button on the ribbon.

Enter the following:
System Name
Agency Code (provided by EPA)
Time Zone
