- 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.

Other Fixes:
• Layout of the exported tag file
was changed to match previous versions of P3.
The note in the detail records will have a blank like above and below the note.
• Default baud rate for Avid PowerTracker II
is set to 2400 baud.
• When the user changes file name
used for a tag session, all upload history for
the old file will be erased to avoid confusion.
Documentation
This documentation is meant to provide quick, easily accessible information about
the P3 application. This document assumes that you are proficient in the use of the
Windows operating system. If you need help using the operating system, consult its
user documentation. This document also assumes that you are familiar with PIT tag
marking procedures and PTAGIS data specifications. If not, we encourage you to
read this documentation, located at www.ptagis.org
.
The P3 application often provides multiple ways to accomplish a task. In some cases,
you can use the main menu, the right-click menu, a toolbar function, or you can
press a key combination for a certain task, but instructions in this documentation
generally include only the most convenient method.
The following sources provide additional support for the P3 application:
