Chapter 4 Operation
Particular entries may be searched for in any of the summary displays by using the S
(search) key. This will allow the operator to input a street number, street name, serial
number, or just a part of an entry that corresponds to a transponder of interest. The
summary display will then display only those transponders that match the search string
and are in the main summary category initially selected.
The operator may also jump to a particular entry in the summary display, by typing in the
desired entry number and pressing the Enter key. The display will then start at that entry
a scroll down from there. The number displayed in the box above the S key is the total
number of entries contained in this summary. This number will change if the operator
inputs a search string and narrows the summary, and will then display only the number of
entries that match the search string. Help is available at any time in the summary screen
by pressing the H key.
Within some of the Summary sub-menus there are various status labels placed on each
transponder entry. These statuses reflect the success of a transponder read or show why a
read failure was detected. The Code field shown in Table 1 corresponds to the code field
in the MMI output data file.

Table 1. Transponder Status Definitions
The transponder status definitions shown in Table 1 are described below:
UNINT The transponder has never been polled because it has never been within
the
interrogation window. The Tamper field in Table 1 does not apply with
this status since the transponder has never been read.
