Sessions
All the data read by your HR5 reader, is collected into sessions. A
session must exist before the reader will read any tags.
The opons available from the Session Menu are:
New Session Use this to create and open a new session, ready
to read tags.
Session Summary Shows the current session name, starng date,
and total tags read.
Note: Session informaon can be printed to a
connected Bluetooth or WiFi printer. An ASCII
type printer is recommended.
List all Sessions Displays a list of all sessions stored in the
reader. Sessions can be selected to delete, open
as current session.
Edit Current
Session
Enables navigaon to the current session so the
user can change associated traits, acvies and
life data, set sort by list or mothering, and edit
the session name or note.
New Session
New sessions may be created for the following reasons:
• A new session is required for a new day’s acvity.
• A different group of animals are to be read into a separate
session.
Adding traits to a session
On the HR5 Reader, a session can be configured so the user is able
to assign trait values to the animal from a list of values. Up to 9
traits, acvies or life data fields can be specified for a session.
Note: If no traits or life data are specified for a session, the Read
Tags screen will display animal count only.
Sort list execuon in a session
When seng up a new session, it is possible to select a sort list to
apply to the animals scanned within the session. As the animals
are scanned, their sort assignment will be displayed to the user,
along with any colour that may have been assigned to the sort
group.
Sort lists and group colours are configured in APS on the PC.

Mothering in a session
Mothering mode in a session allows the ID of the Dam to be
linked with its offspring automacally. It is possible to record
trait informaon against both the Dam and offspring, but it is not
possible to sort during a mothering session.
See Reading a Tag with Mothering selected (p. 12) for more
details.
Auto increment VID numbers in a session
The automac increment of VID numbers in a session is used to
assign sequenal visual ID numbers to animals that are being
scanned for the first me. To use automac increment, manually
enter the VID of the first animal in the usual manner (ref xxxx).
Provided that this VID ends with a numeric value, the next animal
scanned will be assigned the next free VID value in the sequence.
For example; The first animal is scanned and the tag number is
manually entered “TAG001”. When the next animal is scanned, the
reader will automacally assign the next tag number, “TAG002”,
without any manual entry.
See Enter a VID manually (p. 12) for more details.
How to start a new session
1. From the Main Menu screen select the Session icon and
press OK.
2. On the Session Menu, select New Session and press OK.
• The session name is automacally created based on the
current date and an alphanumeric character.

VID Cross reference
The Hand Held Reader maintains a cross-reference table that links
an animal’s Electronic ID with the animal’s Visual Tag Number.
Once it makes this link, it will recall the Visual Tag Number
the next me the Electronic ID is read.
Cross-reference informaon containing EIDs and corresponding
VIDs can be exported to the Hand Held Reader from APS, in a
session or Animal table. The VID is displayed above the Big ID box
on the Reader screen and the EID is displayed below it, when the
tag is read. The numbers in the Big ID screen will be part of the
EID or VID depending on your Tag Display setup.
Big ID on display
If there is a cross-reference table that provides the VID for the
scanned animal, you will see both the EID and VID on the screen.
The Big ID field can be configured to show the VID or EID. It can
be used to highlight the part of the VID or EID that is most
significant to you.

be desired.
Mulple offspring can be recorded in this manner without having
to re-scan the mother repeatedly.

Sort Lists
A sort list contains a list of animal ID’s, each with a sorng
assignment. This assignment may be used to separate animals into
predefined groups, or to flag specific animals for selecon.
The Sort Lists screen shows all the sorng lists available on the
reader. These lists are imported from APS.
To view a sort list
1. From the Main Menu, select Sort Lists
and press OK.
The sort lists available on the HR5 will be

The number of tags scanned into each
group is displayed next to the group
name.
• To view the sorted animal
ID’s within a group, select the
group to be viewed and press OK.

the Tag Display screen) are shown.
3. Press the
Return key once to go back to
the Sort Lists screen and press again to
return to the Main menu.
Note: The sort list ‘Empty List’ is the factory default and contains

Traits
The Traits screen, lists all the traits available
on the reader, which have either been
imported from APS, are the factory default
traits or have been manually entered into
the HR5. These traits can be assigned to an
animal in a session.
Traits can be added or unused traits deleted
from the HR5, with the trait name and some
trait values able to be edited.
Note: The HR5 can have up to 9 traits per session.
Adding Traits:
Each new trait is named, a type selected (trait, life data or acvity)
and the format of the trait, whether it’s a date, numeric, text or
a list of values field is specified. Each format has its own integral
fields to be completed.
Once a trait has been created, the trait type and format cannot be
edited, however the fields displayed within the chosen format can
be adjusted and List of Values fields can be added.
Deleng Traits:
A trait or acvity can only be deleted if it is not used in any session
on the reader, by pressing the Delete sokey. A pop up message
will either ask you to confirm the deleon or advise in which
session the trait is sll in use.
Note:
Life data traits that have been assigned to an animal cannot be
deleted on the Reader.
Refer to APS Standard User Guide for more informaon about
traits.
