(You should read and be familiar with the previous section in the manual.) All users must verify the
current template displayed when programming a tag or a batch of tags. (The template is also known as the tag
configuration data file.) If the current template data is incorrect then the user must load the correct template.
Select the main menu item "User" then Click on the "Load Template" sub-menu item.
The following dialog box appears (example).
Choose the appropriate template file by selecting it with the mouse then clicking on the "Open" button.
Verify that this is the correct template; select each folder tab in turn and then examine all of the selection
boxes displayed.
Note: The Vehicle Reference field value (shown as "72" in the example above) represents the cumulative total
of the first 4 field values assigned as "vehicle" data.

Template files are created
and stored in a separate
directory as specified by a
Supervisor (example

If the required template
does not exist then only a
Supervisor may create a
new template.

template file" if the
directory was emptied
or if the files have been
moved.

field having 7 bits of
custom Agency Data

value. Click on
