2.5 How to: Upload RFIDs i to the Reader
The feature of uploading RFIDs into the 9060 reader is to allow you to find particular RFIDs
that you need to identify. For example, if you need to find a particular animal that was treated
with a certain medicinal treatment, you can upload the RFID into the reader. When you read the
animal with that RFID, the reader will alert you with a long series of beeps so that you will know
you have found the animal you were looking for.
To use this feature, there are two steps you will need to perform three steps:
1. Create a file to upload into the reader.
2. Upload the RFIDs into the reader.
3. Set the reader up to check each RFID you read against the RFIDs you put into the
reader.
Before starti g you will eed:
1. Aleis DataLink installed on your computer.
2. A working COM port – you can check this by turning your 9060 reader on, and then opening
Aleis DataLink. Down the bottom right corner of the Aleis DataLink screen, you should see
that the software has connected to a particular unit.
3. A list of RFIDs that you want to put into the reader.
Step 1: Creati g a file to upload i to the reader.
Creating the file to upload into the reader is very easy. You can do this in Microsoft Excel or
Wordpad or otepad. All you need to do is have a list of RFIDs with the word TAG as the first
entry, ie at the top of the list. It must look like this:
TAG
982 000023661452
982 000016654299
982 000027909419
982 000024909416
982 000009161045
982 000024566253
982 000015883922
982 000030781909
If you are using Microsoft Excel, then simply put this in Column A, with the word TAG
in Row 1.
Once you have done this, you will need to save this as a text file (*.txt). It is very important that
you save this as a text file or the operation will not work. Hint: When you save this, give it a
name that is five letters or less.

Aleis ISO9060 Data Box Operational Manual
Aleis ISO9060 Series Page 14 of 28
Step 2: Upload the files i to the reader.
1. Open up Aleis DataLink.
2. Once the software has found the reader, click on the Open button located at the left side
of the DataLink screen (there is a big yellow manilla folder on the button).
3. Find the file that you created, and click on the open button.
4. You will see that file name listed in the main screen of Aleis DataLink where the session
names and numbers are normally displayed.
5. Click on that file name.
6. ow click on the Upload button located at the left side of the DataLink screen.
7. You will be asked to enter a name. If you want to change the name, go ahead and type
in what you would like, then click on the OK button.
8. When it has been successfully uploaded, you will see at the bottom left of the DataLink
screen, the words, “Upload Complete”.
2.6 How to: Compare RFIDs i the Reader
You want to ensure that every time you read an RFID, the reader is checking it against the list of
RFIDs you have uploaded into the reader. To make this happen, do the following:
1. Ensure the reader is turned on.
2. Start a new session – as per your requirements . . . so you will be using a template that you
are planning to do your work with.
3. Once you have started the new session, and you are in the main reading screen, press the
ME U button.
4. Scroll down to Read Setup and press the OK button.
5. Scroll down to Compariso and press the OK button.
6. Scroll down to 

21. If you want a message to appear as well, scroll down to Message and press the OK button.
22. Type the message you want to appear, then press the OK button.

24. Press the C button (located beside the ME U button) three times – until you see the main
reading screen.
25. Turn the reader off and then back on.
26. The reader is now ready to use and will compare the RFIDs you read against the list you
uploaded.
** ote: When you upload another new list of RFIDs into the reader, in Step 6 of the above, you will need to
tick the box 

2.7 Formatti g the File System
Formatting of the file system is very important to keep your reader operating at its maximum performance.
Once the reader has read and stored a lot of tags eg 40000+ you may notice a slow down in its performance
when storing and recalling data. This is similar to your PC when the Hard Drive gets full. When you clear
the reader it doesn’t actually remove the data so you can retrieve it if you accidentally have cleared the
reader. When a “Format file system” is done the data then is lost.
Formatting of the file system should be done every 2-4 months for Heavy users or 4-6 months for light users.
Before formatting the file system make sure you have saved any data in the reader. After formatting the data
is NOT recoverable.
When the reader is formatted your templates will also be cleared so note down the names and the fields in
the template so you can set them up again.
2.8 How to Format your reader
Note: Read above “Formatting File System in Reader” first
Step 1 Open DataLink
Step 2 Click on “Setup”.
Step 3 Click on “Format file system”
Step 4 Click on “OK”
Step 5 Type in your ame and click on “OK”
Step 6 The reader will now be formatting the file system
Step 7 Click on the “OK”
Your reader is now formatted.
