Creating an NLIS Transaction File
What It Is
NLIS stands for National Livestock Identification System. The MyScale NLIS
Utility is a simple alternative to the NLISLink program. The MyScale NLIS Utility
generates a transaction file that contains information about changes in
livestock ownership and location. These files are used in the same way as
those created by the NLISLink program.
Note: The NLIS application is only available to the Australian market.
When to use
You can create an NLIS transaction file using MyScale Pro if :
• You take part in the NLIS program.
• You have sold or transferred livestock from your farm, and,
• You have transferred session files from your SmartReader to your
computer that contain Electronic ID records for these animals.
Procedure
To create an NLIS transaction file, follow these steps:
1. Select Create NLIS file on the MyScale Pro Main menu and then click
Next.
The following window displays:
2. Click on the session containing the animals to be sold or transferred to
another property.
Note: If no sessions are displayed, you will need to connect to the
SmartReader and transfer sessions to the computer. See
Transfer sessions
from Electronic Controller to computer (p 41).
If the animals are not contained within one session you can open
multiple session files. To open multiple files hold down the Ctrl key and
click on each session file name.
3. Click Next.
