Step 17

Press the Space bar to move the cursor to the CODING column. Here you can add in your own coding of any
type. For example, A X H may stand for the animals breeding, an Angus/Hereford Cross. The Stockweigh
Datamaster will read both alpha and numeric terms under the coding column.

* The screen will look like the following:-

WEIGHT

IDENT ##

CODING

325

B123

A X H

WEIGHT:

6 characters (0000.0) numeric only

IDENT:

5 characters alpha-numeric

##:

2 characters numeric only

CODING:

7 characters alpha numeric

Note: To change the information on this line (before saving), simply press the arrow left (backspace) key. To
update the weight automatically press the AWt@ key. To change the weight manually press the AShift+Wt@ key
and re-enter the weight manually using the keyboard.

NOTE; TO EDIT A DATASET ONCE IT HAS BEEN SAVED, PRESS SHIFT-WT KEYS AND THE LAST
RECORD WILL APPEAR FOR EDITING. THIS MUST BE DONE RIGHT AFTER THE MISTAKE IS FOUND
AND THE SAVE KEY HAS BEEN PRESSED. If a diamond shape appears there is a duplicate “ID” entered.

Step 18

Now that all the information is entered onto the screen of the Stockweigh Datamaster, you must also enter it
into the memory by pressing the save key. This procedure must be carried out if all animal weights are to be
recorded and stored in the memory.

At any time during weighing, or at the end , you can obtain a summary of how the herd are weighing.
This is done by pressing the F10 key. Press Enter to scroll through the file.

The screen will come up the following:
