- 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.

Note: This setting can be enabled or disabled using a
digitizer map command. By default, a non-zero nose stop
extension is enabled whenever a tag session is opened or
the active profile is changed.
Baytech Multiport Controllers
A Baytech multiport controller extends a single serial port into four or more
additional serial ports. Devices are connected to the multiport so that each is
uniquely addressed in such a way that the P3 application can identify and separate
input.
Multiport controllers are considered to be legacy equipment. P3 does not require
devices to be connected on a single serial port (as PITTag2 does). If you have more
peripheral devices than serial ports, we recommend using USB or PCMCIA serial port
hubs. With little effort, these plug-and-play devices work with the operating system
to extend the total number of serial ports. Refer to the P3 Home Page
web site for
more information on these devices.
A multiport controller device has these additional property settings:
These property settings designate which devices, if any, are connected to the ports
of the multiport controller. The RS-232 serial settings must match between port and
device. To do this, use the Terminal window
and issue the configuration command
listed for the multiport device.
If a digitizer tablet device is selected, you must associate a digitizer map
using the
digitizer tablet property settings
.
