- 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.

Enabled
This enables or disables device input when a tag session is
opened. This allows the user to disable device input
without removing its configuration.
Note: Only one WinTab digitizer device can be configured for a profile. When a
WinTab configuration already exists, the WinTab digitizer Device Type will not be
available for selection.
Serial Port Device Settings
All devices must have their serial port settings defined, with the exception of a
WinTab device
. The serial port settings determine how the device communicates to
the application. These settings should match the internal RS-232 settings of the
selected peripheral device
, or the input data will appear abnormal, or most likely will
not appear at all. Use the Terminal window
to troubleshoot configuration settings.
