Using a cross-reference file
A file containing EIDs and corresponding VIDs (visible tag numbers)
can be uploaded into the stick reader prior to the scanning session,
using EziLink. If a cross-reference file has been pre-loaded, the
animal's VID will appear in large numerals on the LCD when a tag is
scanned. The EID is displayed in small numerals directly above.
For information about uploading a cross-reference file, see the
Stick Reader User Manual .

Adding custom field information

times out and returns to the READY screen or the XRS is turned off.

a particular animal as its tag is read. A file containing EIDs and alert
messages can be uploaded into the stick reader prior to the

If an alert is stored against the EID, the stick reader will beep,
the handle will vibrate and a message appears on the LCD:
Press the Scroll button to select Continue and then press the
