- 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.

also be manually typed into the terminal window,
followed by a RETURN.

Pressing this button on the tool bar will toggle the
connection on/off between serial port and terminal
window.
Activating Tag Actions
Tag Actions
trigger specific responses to tag code input and can be defined and
enabled within a profile. In addition to replacing the file validation function in
PITTag2, tag actions allow users to filter out test tag input or to issue an alert when
a particular tagged fish or group of fish is recaptured.
The profile settings displayed below only enable or disable actions for a particular
profile. A single action can be enabled in more than one profile; actions are created
and managed independently from any particular profile.
Two actions are enabled in the figure above. When this profile is used, 'Clip File
CS555313' and 'Filter Test Tags' will be activated whenever a tag session is opened.
Note: When a profile is exported, any tag actions that are enabled will be included in
the export file.
Validation Constraints
Validation Constraints allow the user to verify that the Species, Run, and Rearing-
Type codes entered into each tag detail record are in a predefined list of expected
values (domain). This feature can be used to ensure that tagged fish are not
erroneously categorized or alert the user to the presence of a non-target fish.
