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  me the Electronic ID is read.
A cross-reference fi le containing EIDs and corresponding VIDs can
be exported to the Hand Held Reader prior to a tag reading session,
using APS. 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.

scanned animal, you will see both the EID and VID on the screen.
