- Tip: the Replace command will import tag codes much faster than the Import command. Use the Import command only when appending a relatively small number of tag codes (less than 25k) to a tag action.
- Tip: the Delete All and Replace commands will generate a lot of empty space in the P3 database. We recommend running the Compact and Repair utility after running any of these commands to optimize the database.

Overview
Overview of the P3 Application
P3, also known as PITTag3, is a data entry, edit, and validation tool developed expressly to
facilitate the collection of PIT tag mark/recapture data in the Columbia/Snake river basins. P3
provides the user with a very fast data entry module that recognizes, coordinates, and assigns
input from a number of peripheral electronic components. The data editing module provides a
structured environment to review and modify existing data records while ensuring the integrity
of data content and format. The data verification and validation routines are designed to detect
and prevent inadvertent errors in data entry, and alert the user to questionable data values at
the time of entry, without significantly increasing processing time. The ultimate product of P3 is
a thoroughly-proofed and precisely-formatted Tag File, containing up to 10,000 PIT tag
records and adjunct data, ready for incorporation into the regional PTAGIS
database.
What's new in version 1.4.4
Check out Readme.txt
for more information about this release. We recommend using
Windows XP or higher for this version of the program.
New Features:
• Support added for Sartorius Combics 1
electronic balance. This balance does
not automatically send data to PC. The user has to press Print button for the
data to be sent.
• Whenever a tag action
is imported into P3, the user will be prompted to
activate the tag actions in the current profile. If the user agrees, then the
activation will occur automatically.
• When tag actions
associated with tag sessions are exported, the user how has
an option to export all the tags from the associated tag session as a list of
tags assigned to this action. The user will be asked if she wants to export tags
from the associated session. If the user agrees, the session is converted into
a tag list and included in the export.
