Updating the Cross-Reference Table with Tag Checking
When a duplicate tag number occurs and you change a Visual Tag
Number that is already linked to an Electronic ID, the cross-reference
table in the Scale, as well as the current session, is automatically
updated.
For more information about the Scale's cross-reference table or about
linking a Visual Tag Number to an Electronic ID, refer to
Using
Electronic ID
(p 55).
The following procedure provides an example of how duplicate tag
number checking can be used to update the Scale's cross-reference
table:
1.
In different sessions you read two Electronic IDs. By mistake you
assign both the same Visual Tag Number of 500. The cross-
reference table in the Scale records this information as shown
below.
Electronic ID
Visual Tag Number
90000000555 500
90000000444 500
2.
You start a new session and read the first Electronic ID
(90000000555). Later in the session you read the second
Electronic ID (90000000444). The duplicate tag number screen
displays with the Visual Tag Number 500 displayed.
3.
You realise the Visual Tag Number linked with Electronic ID
90000000444 should be 600 not 500.
To correct the mistake, you press the soft key to delete the 500
and use the keypad to enter the correct Visual Tag Number of 600.
When the animal leaves the platform the current session and the
cross-reference table are automatically updated. The cross-
reference table now records the information shown below.
Electronic ID
Visual Tag Number
90000000555 500
90000000444 600
