Connecting an XRS2i/XRS2 or SRS2i/SRS2 EID stick reader to a Tru-Test weigh scale indicator

Connect a XRS2i/XRS2 or SRS2i/SRS2 EID stick reader to a weigh scale indicator to send EIDs to the indicator to record animals

Updated over a week ago

You can connect an EID stick reader to a Tru-Test weigh scale indicator (or a third-party compatible weigh scale indicator) to automatically send Electronic ID (EID) numbers to the indicator.

📝 When an EID stick reader is connected to an indicator, only the EIDs will be sent to the indicator, not any other data you are recording.

💡 You can use Data Link PC software to upload VID/EID pairs to the indicator prior to weighing . This will mean that the VIDs will be displayed on the indicator as you weigh. If you want VIDs to display on the stick reader as well, you will also need to pre-upload them to the stick reader.
