    Tag management Read identifiers that are already programmed to iAssign tags or cards. Program tags or cards with name, location, and iNet equipment group identifiers and set access levels for compatible Ventis Pro instruments. Tags or cards can be continually overwritten, as needed, or tags can be permanently locked so that they cannot be reprogrammed.
