©1999-2008 MARK IV INDUSTRIES CORP. I.V.H.S. DIVISION pg. 25 of 69
Data displayed on "Read a tag"
There are also 4 folder tabs displayed. The folder tabs represent the various areas inside the tag that are
programmable either by the Factory or by the Agency. If a Supervisor can modify a tag field it is displayed as a
selection box (white background areas in the screen).
The fixed Factory data fields and the variable Agency data fields from the Factory/Agency folder tab are
displayed by default.
To display the value read in the interactive Agency (Custom) 31 bit data field, click on the Agency (Custom)
folder tab.
There would be selection boxes
shown here only if a Supervisor
created and saved a new
template.
Refer to the section "Create a
new Template file".
The selection boxes shown here
allow the template data to be
modified.
The Supervisor may change the
default folder tab displayed upon
reading a tag. Refer to the section
in the manual titled "Default View
Page."
The number of blue squares
displayed in the "progress bar"
indicates the relative completion
of the Read or Program task.
"Clear Unassigned Bits", when selected, will set all the unused bits in the entire field to zero.
Note 1. If a template file is not loaded then the "Clear Unassigned Bits" default value is
"unselected". Reason: all IAG tags have these 31 bits set when they were originally
programmed at the factory.
Note 2. If a template file is loaded then this "Clear Unassigned Bits" value is set to the data that
was stored in that template file.
