Import EID's from stick reader memory

If you have used the Stick Reader to read the animals into groups on the reader then you can download a particular group to the phone. To add a group from the Stick Reader's memory:

1. Switch the Stick Reader on.
2. Wait a few seconds for the phone to connect to the stick reader.  The title bar of the app will indicate that it is connected and the blue light on the stick reader will switch on.  If you haven't connected to the stick reader previously click here for details on how to connect.
3. Tap the stick reader group read icon and select the desired stick reader from the list shown by the app.
4. The app will display a list of groups stored in the selected stick reader's memory.
5. Tap on each group you want to import. A tick mark appears and indicates which groups will be retrieved from memory. When you have ticked all the desired groups, press 'Use tags'.

Read the EID tags live

Alternatively you can use the live read option to add animals as you read them on the stick reader. To do this:

1. Switch the Stick Reader on.
2. Wait a few seconds for the phone to connect to the stick reader.  The title bar of the app will indicate that it is connected and the blue light on the stick reader will switch on. If you haven't connected to the stick reader previously, click here for details on how to connect.
3. Now read an EID using the stick reader and it should be added to the animal list.

Any animals which have unsent data can be identified when viewing the list of animals because they will have an indication next to the tag number. The indicators are:

• ⊕ Plus sign: The animal is included in a request that will result in it being created when the request has been successfully sent. E.g. an on movement or any request where the animal has not been seen before. This is important because any subsequent request for this animal cannot be 'sent' until the creating request has been sent.
• ⊖ Minus sign: The animal is included in a request that will result in it being deleted when the request has been successfully sent. E.g. an off movement or death. This is important because the animal cannot be added to any other requests, and cannot be 'selected' (ticked) in the animal list.
• ✎ Pencil: The animal is included in a request that will neither create nor delete it when the request is successful. This is included to indicate that it has outstanding activity.

A list of the requests which have not been sent can be viewed by selecting the animal and choosing the 'Activity' tab.
