During the course of the day, I will quick save UIDs on my SDS100. When I got home, I used the "Read from scanner" function on the sentinel software. None of the UIDs i added directly to the scanner showed up in sentinel. Do I need to select some option somewhere? Or does this just not work?

Are you leaving the scanner on or shutting down and turning it back on and then attempting to Read from Scanner?

I had turned it off when I got home. Then later turned it on and tried reading from scanner. The UIDs are still in the scanner, but not in the software.

Did you select the Save to PC option when prompted for the system you saved them to?

I figured it out. Thank you!!!

Longer answer:
I did. And I wanted to make 100% sure before I answered so I just did it again. They still weren't there. Then I realized that it appears as a different favorite list. Maybe I selected the wrong option. It was exactly what you said, but it was close. Whatever the top option was.

Glad it worked out, but yes has to be saved to the program under the matching favorite list.

If you don't mind (because I appreciate your help already # Thank_You), can you tell me which option to select to update the existing list when I read from scanner? That would be preferable.

What is the favorite list name that you're saving it too? (If that's the question?) When you do a Read From Scanner, the scanner will prompt you if you want to save a change correct?
