Set Active Group
This function allows to select the group where new animals (tags) will be stored in. If new
animals should be added to an existing group, set this group as the active one.
If no tags have been read yet, a message with the
information '
no active group
' is shown on the home
screen.
When a tag is read, the device will automatically create a
new group with the name '
Group 1
'. If the group name
shall be different, it is necessary to create a new group
manually first before reading a tag
– in this case the name
can be modified.
If you want to add new animals to an existing group, set this group as the active group. This can
be achieved using the menu item
Set Active Group
in the
Data
Menu:
The currently selected group is shown in green font.
Use the
/
keys to select the desired group and the
/ keys for moving to the previous or next page.
In the example shown on the left side, the currently active
group is '
cows
' and the cursor is located at '
sheep
'. Press
to make '
sheep
' the active group.
The reader shows a confirmation message with the
information that the new active group is '
sheep
'. All tags
which are read from now on will be saved in this group
until a different group will be set as the active one.
The name of the active group is shown on the home
screen with the amount of records in that group in
brackets. A maximum of 10.000 records can be saved in
one group.
