SETS Interface

The SETS Interface is a program used to access SETS data products. Users can create subsets, tabulate, chart, and export to a variety of formats.  Additionally, the Interface can be used to translate field and value labels as well as complete searches for data and documentation.  The Interface, which also contains the QuickTab component of SETS 2.0, uses about 14MB of space.

To take full advantage of the latest SETS 2.0 software, please check to see that you have revision 805 installed. This number can be found on the opening screen of SETS 2.0. If you have an earlier release or are unsure, we recommend that you proceed to reinstall the software. The Interface can be downloaded from the Internet or installed from a SETS CD-ROM. 

WARNING: Do not attempt to install a new version of SETS without first completely removing the old version.
