TagMax enables you to scan an animal’s EID tag and either store it in a TagMax session or lookup the animals in your CattleMax account.

  3. Turn on the EID reader
  4. Open TagMax and then open a session
  5. Click the Bluetooth icon at the top of the session page and select your Tru-Test EID reader from the dropdown list.

  7. Optional - Select "Automatically Connect on Start" and you can skip steps 5 and 6 next time
  8. Scan your animals EID and collect your data
