Recording EID tags
Ways of using the stick reader
The stick reader can be used in two ways:
1. Standalone - the stick reader saves each scanned tag in its internal memory. These records can be transferred
afterwards, as described in
Section 7 – Getting information off .
2. Connected – the EID reader immediately transmits every scanned tag to a connected device, such as a weigh scale
indicator.

4. Press the Read button while holding the stick reader near to an EID tag.
Tip: When scanning EID tags, if animals are moving quickly through a race or into a pen, you can hold down the Read
button continuously. Scanning will stop when the Read button is released.
Displaying VIDs (visual IDs) during scanning
EID/VID pairs can be transferred from the PC to the stick reader prior to scanning using the Data Link software. This
means that when an animal's EID tag is scanned, the corresponding VID number will be displayed automatically.
