VID Cross reference
The Hand Held Reader maintains a cross-reference table that links
an animal’s Electronic ID with the animal’s Visual Tag Number.
Once it makes this link, it will recall the Visual Tag Number
the next time the Electronic ID is read.
Cross-reference information containing EIDs and corresponding
VIDs can be exported to the Hand Held Reader from Animal
Performance in a session or Animal table. The VID is displayed
above the Big ID box on the Reader screen and the EID is displayed
below it when the tag is read. The numbers in the Big ID screen
will be part of the EID or VID depending on your Tag Display setup.
Big ID on display
If there is a cross-reference table that provides the VID for the
scanned animal, you will see both the EID and VID on the screen.
The Big ID field can be configured to show the VID or EID. It can be
used to highlight the part of the VID or EID that is most significant
to you.
