To change the value of a memory location, click once on any cell in User Memory or the Value column
of System Memory and edit the hexadecimal value. Any changed value from what is on the tag will be
shown in red.
It is also possible to enter text in the As Text column of User Memory, though this should be used with
caution. Only plain text can be entered in this way and care must be taken to move to the correct address.
When changes to a tag are complete, make sure the tag is in the reader field, then click Write To Tag.
After a brief period in red while the writes are occurring, the tag memory should change to black for all
the changed values indicating success. If the user decides not to write to the tag, Clear Changes will
revert to the tag's current state. Clear Tags will remove all current tags from the list.
