SmartScan Model 2400 Portable AEI Reader
Figure 52 - Rail Vehicle History Display
The Rail Vehicle History display shows the rail vehicle's current location and the time it
was moved to the current location. It also shows the vehicle's previous locations (up to
10).
6.4. Delete All Track Inventory
To delete all of the rail vehicles in the portable reader's database, tap the Delete All
Track Inventory menu item in the Inventory menu.
7. TRACK TAGS
Track tags are AEI tags that are programmed with track information. Their purpose is
to eliminate the need to manually enter this information when taking track inventory.
Before reading AEI tags on rail vehicles, the operator would read the Track tag at the
starting point on the track. After reading all of the rail vehicles tags, the operator
would read the Track tag at the ending point on the track. After reading the second
Track tag, the portable reader will end taking inventory for the track and either send
the track consist automatically (see Paragraph 5.7 for setting up automatic
transmission) or ask the operator if he wants to send the inventory.
Track tags contain the track name, the orientation of the track (North to South, South
to North, etc), the tag sequence number, whether the track has track spot locations,
and the orientation of the track spot locations.
