Animal data can be uploaded onto a 5000 series indicator (XR5000 or ID5000) using Data Link PC software. You may want to upload draft files, alerts, identification bucket files (EID/VID pairing) or other related data to help better manage your animals and keep track of their performance.

The type of data you can upload will depend on whether you have an ID5000 or XR5000 indicator. Check the quickstart guide for your 5000 series indicator to see what options are available. Only the XR5000 indicator supports the creation of custom columns.
