EID / VID CROSS REFERENCE TABLE
The FX41 may be set up with a cross reference table supplied by a computer, using the
Iconix WinFX Linker Package, or scanned/entered manually. The cross-reference table
has a maximum of 3000 entries. Each entry in the table has 2 components:
VID (Visual ID or tag number) up to 6 digits
EID (Electronic ID) up to 16 digits
Whenever an EID is received from the reader, the cross reference table is checked and if
that EID is found, the corresponding VID is used on the display instead.
For access to the cross-reference table, go into SET-UP and follow steps 1 to 8 in the
section EID SET-UP OPTIONS above. Press the key to ENTER X-REF MENU.
Now use the key to step through the options:
ADD X-REF ENTRIES ? Manually add new entries
X-REF SCROLL ? View entries, optionally edit the VID, or delete an entry
DELETE X-REFS ? Delete all entries in table
EXIT ?
Press ENTER to perform the selected function.
Adding Cross-Reference Entries
Type the tag number for a new entry in response to "VISUAL ID = 0". If a mistake is
made, use the DELETE key to backspace then correct.
After pressing ENTER to accept the new VID, the message "SCAN NEW EID NOW...."
appears. The reader must scan a new EID within about 3 seconds for the the VID / EID
entry to be valid. The EID must be a unique number and duplicates are not permitted in
the cross-reference table, with a warning appearing if an attempt is made to add a
duplicate. No check for duplicate VIDs is made.
Scrolling Through the Cross-Reference Table
For each entry, the VID is displayed and a press of the key will allow viewing of the
associated EID. The user can then scroll up or scroll down through the entries.
While scrolling through records in memory, the displayed record may be deleted or
edited. The various entry points to the Delete/Edit menu can be accessed by pressing the
following keys:
DELETE DELETE X-REF ? Delete the currently selected entry
0 to 9 EDIT VISUAL ID ? Edit the VID of the currently selected entry
EXIT ?
Use the key to step between the different options and press ENTER to select.
