Tru-Test XRS2 Stick Reader Setup Manual

XRS2 STICK READER SETUP GUIDE
A file containing animal lifetime information can be transferred to the XRS2 Stick Reader (the stick reader) prior to the
scanning session. This will mean that when the animal's EID is scanned, corresponding animal lifetime, or visual
identification information will be displayed during scanning.
For example, before a scanning session, you can transfer a file containing animal EIDs and corresponding VID pairs to
the stick reader. During the scanning session, when an animal's EID is scanned, the corresponding VID will be displayed
in large numbers, making it easier to identify the animal.
There are two (or three) steps required to transfer animal lifetime information to the stick reader:
1. Prepare a file containing animal lifetime information (this may be a tag supplier's bucket file or a file which you
have created yourself).
2. Transfer the file to the stick reader using Data Link for PC.
3. Set up the stick reader to display particular fields during scanning (this step is not necessary if you have transferred
EID/VID pairs because EID and VID fields are displayed already by default).
After this, you will be ready to scan animals.
