5.1.1 Design Agency (Custom) data field

The Supervisor will design and save a data file describing a new value for the fixed Agency data field. The IAG

tag format data field has 31 bits and the Type 2 LCD tag format has 7 bits. In either tag this field starts at bit

#65 (referenced to the tag header MSB = bit #0).

The new data file will be included in a new template used to program a tag.

• Click on the main menu item Supervisor then click on Design Agency Custom.

Step one, set up an Agency custom field

• The Custom Fields dialog box is displayed.

The example list shows that there are no

other Custom Fields names currently

saved. After you design and name a new

Custom Fields and then save it the list

will display it.

This is a two-step process. The Supervisor will first design a new field

then secondly, set a value or values for that same new field. The field

may have several sets of values each with a unique name. Within one

template file, only one set of Agency Custom values may be used at

any one time for programming a tag or a batch of "like tags".

IMPORTANT…There is a maximum of 10 custom Agency data field

names that may be created.
