Setting up the Sort List
The Sort List is created on the computer and copied to the Scale using MyScale
Pro. Refer to the MyScale Pro User Manual for instructions on creating the Sort
List and copying it to the Scale.
When a Sort List is copied to the Scale it replaces any Sort List that already exists
on the Scale.
After you have completed your Sort List session you can copy the Sort List back to
the computer for analysis or to update data in your farm management software
program.
Sorting groups and sorting gates: At the time you prepare a Sort List in MyScale
Pro, you do not need to know which of the sorter's gates will be available for
your purpose. When you prepare the list, you simply assign animals to groups.
After you copy the Sort List to the Scale, you decide which sorting group will pass
through which sorter gate.
Outsiders: Outsiders are animals which:

are not on the list;

have no group number assigned to them in the list; or

have no Electronic ID.
If an outsider passes through the sorter, the Scale assigns the animal to a special
group called
Others
. When you select a Sort List session, the Scale gives you the
opportunity to assign a sorter gate specifically to the
Others
group.
Notes :

If you sort by list without weighing, you cannot sort animals that are not
wearing Electronic ID tags. If you encounter such an animal, plan on having
to manually shift it out of the sorter.

If you are weighing as you sort by list and you encounter an animal not
wearing an Electronic ID tag, the Scale will sort the animal through the gate
you assigned to the Others group. In this case, as the Scale cannot record an
Electronic ID, you should add additional animal information, at least the
animal's Visual Tag Number.

If your Sort List contains more than 600 animals, an additional "SEARCHING"
screen displays during sorting while the Scale locates the required records.
