Create and load tag list files
You can use the DartWand software to create and load tag list files. Each tag list file contains a list of tag
IDs, with one tag ID per line. This is helpful if you have a group of tags you usually configure together.
The file ensures consistency because it eliminates the need for scanning each individual tag ID.
To create a tag list file:
1 On the Config tab, click the Save icon
above the Tag List field.
2 In the Save Tag List dialog box, type a filename and click Save.
ZES recommends using a descriptive name for Tag List files, such as Forklift Tag List.txt.
Alternatively, you can use a text editor such as Notepad to create a Tag List file. To do so, enter
one tag ID per line; then save the file with the extension .tl.
To load a tag list file:
1 On the Config tab, click the Open icon
above the Tag List field.
2 In the Open dialog box, browse to and select the file you want to open.
3 Click Open.
Create and load config files
You can use the DartWand software to create new and load previously created config files. Each config
file contains a pair of Blink Rate and Blink Enabled configuration settings for tag programing, such as a
Blink Rate = 0.5 Hz and Blink = ON. Keeping all setting information in a config file reduces the risk of
entering or maintaining incorrect settings.
