Session
Enables naviga on to the current session so the
user can change associated traits, ac vi es, 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 ac vity.
• A diff erent group of animals are to be read into a separate
session.
Adding traits to a session
On the HR5 Reader, a session can be confi gured so the user is able
to assign trait values to the animal from a list of values. Up to 3
traits, ac vi es or life data fi elds can be specifi ed for a session.
Note: If no traits or life data are specifi ed for a session, the Read
Tags screen will display animal count only.
Sort list execu on in session
When se ng 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, along
with any colour that may have been assigned to the sort group.
Sort lists and group colours are confi gured in APS on the PC.
