- 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.

The terminal window connects directly to a serial port to help troubleshoot device
connections. This tool provides raw data from the connected device and contains a
set of device commands specific to the type of device selected. This tool is not
available while a tag session is open. Also, the Terminal Window does not support
WinTab type devices
. This tool is selected by pressing the Terminal menu button on
the device manager
window.
Commands Descriptions
Port Settings
Use this tool to override default serial port settings.
When the Terminal window is launched, it
automatically connects to the device using the serial
port property settings
. If it cannot connect to the
device or garbage characters appear, most likely the
baud rate or other serial port settings are incorrect
and need to be adjusted. The serial port settings can
be configured without leaving the Terminal window
using this command. You must toggle the Port
Connection command to enable the new port
settings.
