English
Sessions
All the data read by your HR4
reader is collected into sessions. A
session
must
exist before the reader will read any tags.
The options available from the Session Menu are:
New Session
Use this to create and open a new session, ready
to read tags.
Session Summary
Shows the current session name, starting date,
and total tags read.
List all Sessions
Displays a list of all sessions stored in the
reader. Sessions can be selected to delete, or
open as current session.
Edit Current
Session
Enables navigation to the current session so the
user can change associated traits, activities, life
data, or sort list, where allowed.
New Session
New sessions may be created for the following reasons:
•
A new session is required for a new day’s activity.
•
A different group of animals are to be read into a separate
session.
Adding traits to a session
On the HR4 Reader, a session can be configured so the user is
able to assign trait values to the animal from a list of values. Up
to three traits, activities, or life data fields can be specified for a
session.
Note:
If no traits or life data are specified for a session, the Read
Tags screen will display animal count only.
To add, delete, and edit traits, life data, and activities on the HR4
use the Animal Performance mobile app. Select
Menu > Animal
Data
option. Refer to
“Connect HR4 reader to your mobile device”
Sort list execution in session
When setting up a new session, it is possible to select a sort list to
apply to the animals scanned within the session. As the animals
are scanned, their sort assignment will be displayed to the user.
Sort lists can be configured in the Animal Performance web app.
