9Getting the most from your indicator
The EziWeigh7 has a number of features which enable you to get more out of the indicator and speed up data entry.
See the EziWeigh7 User Manual for more information.
ID cross reference The indicator can automatically display an animal’s VID when the EID is scanned. This requires a
cross reference le to be uploaded using EziLink.
Weight Gain During weighing, weight gain per day will be displayed if a weight has previously been recorded
for the same animal and the record is still on the indicator.
Drafting (sorting) The indicator aids two or three way drafting (sorting) by displaying the draft (sort) direction on
the Data screen.
Statistics The weight and draft (sort) statistics for the current or previous sessions can be displayed on the
indicator.
Auto Record Auto recording can be used in order to speed up weighing as there is no need to press record.
Prex You can set the indicator to automatically apply prexes to the VID as you enter them. This saves
time typing.
Auto Increment VID To save time when tagging and weighing animals, you can set the VID eld to automatically
increment for each new animal.
Repeat Automatically repeats a comment.
Caring for the indicator
Do not leave the indicator or load bars in water. Store the indicator in a cool, dry place.
