Modifying the .csv file
Open the .csv file in MS Excel and modify the file so that the format is suitable for transferring to the XRS2 Stick Reader.
1. Find the .csv file you saved earlier and open it in MS Excel.
2. Delete all of the columns except EID.
3. Optional – add alert messages in the second column. This will mean that the stick reader will display a custom
message during the alert.
One alert message for all animals Two different alert messages
4. Save the modified .csv file.
5. Close the .csv file.
The .csv file must be closed before the data can be transferred to the XRS2 Stick Reader.
