4.4 Reading and Programming IAG Tags

4.4.1 Read an IAG tag

• Place the IAG tag into the foam insert in the AU drawer that is configured to accept this type of tag. (see

tag orientation photo in Appendix - Positions of tags in the AU drawer "cradle".).

• Close the AU drawer. Click on "Read" button, otherwise if the Read command has been set to automatic,

then the following screen is displayed (example: a Type 2 interior FPT tag was used).

Notes: The absence of a Template File name (at bottom left) indicates that the data displayed came from the

tag just read. "Not Changed" in the selection boxes is displayed until the Supervisor makes a new selection in

order to create a new template from this one. The Vehicle Reference field value (shown as "200" in the

example above) represents the cumulative total of the first 4 field values assigned as "vehicle" data.

• If the automatic Read is not set, click on the Read button. Within 1 second the tag contents are displayed

(See "Data displayed on 'Read a tag'" below).

Message "Read Failed"

The following message appears if the read command failed.

The Program command button is

highlighted in bold after the tag is

read.

"Auto write enabled" is displayed if it

has been enabled. This is a warning

for the User that opening and closing

the AU drawer will overwrite the tag

inside the drawer with the data

currently displayed.

If the "Default View Page" was set to

"Factory/Agency" then the tag data is

displayed as shown. The Supervisor

may begin modifying the displayed

template or may create a new one

from it and then save it.

Users will then be able to obtain any

one of the saved templates for use in

programming other tags.

Click on "Details" to view the error

code for the failure. A typical error

code message is depicted below.

The code shown must be

revealed to Mark IV Service Dept.

The reason for the failure detected is shown here.

Another typical reason displayed is "Drawer is open".
