- 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.

Device Map Commands
This type of command allows the user to control a peripheral device
from the
digitizer tablet, such as toggling the scan mode of a reader on and off or making a
balance send a weight to the application.
Once the user selects a Device Type, a list of commands associated with the device
type will be displayed. The user selects a command from the list and may change the
default value to display in the associated map cell. In the example above, this device
command will turn the scanning off for all Destron 2001F readers connected to the
application.
Note: Device commands will control all devices of a single type. Keep this in mind
when you have a configuration with two devices of the same type. Device
commands will control a device even if it's connected through a multiport controller.
Searching Data
Searching Data
A new feature in P3 allow users to perform an ad hoc search on data collected in tag
sessions. The user can save a search to recall and reuse as new data are collected.
The results from the search can be saved to a text file, printed, or used as a source
for replacing
field values.
