3.2 Connecting the IceReader
Using the USB cable provided connect the IceReader to any USB port on your PC. The first
time the IceReader is connected, the operating system may prompt for a driver installation.
On most versions of Microsoft Windows the drivers for the IceReader are included in the
Microsoft Windows operating system. Therefore no driver installation should be necessary.

The green LED on the IceReader will be illuminated if the IceReader is being powered. The
amber LED will illuminate on the IceReader when the IceTagAnalyser 2008 software has
recognised the IceReader and is ready for use.

If the amber LED on the IceReader does not illuminate, then driver installation may be
required. These can be installed from the IceTagAnalyser 2008 software CD. Simply re-run
the setup application for IceTagAnalyser 2008 and select the ‘Full’ installation option instead
of ‘Typical’ installation. A ‘Typical’ installation will not install the drivers as most versions of
Windows XP already have the required drivers pre-installed. The setup program will install the
drivers in a sub-directory alongside IceTagAnalyser; this is typically C:\Program
Files\IceRobotics\IceTagAnalyser\USB Drivers. A document called ‘DriverInstallation DI3D-
001-001.pdf’, found in the ‘USB Drivers’ folder, details how to register the installed drivers
with your system.

3.3 Communicating with an IceTag3D Motion Sensor Device
To activate or communicate with an IceTag3D device swipe the IceTag3D over the
IceReader. The amber LED on the IceTag3D will flash to indicate that the IceTag3D has
been read. To verify that the system is functioning correctly check that the IceTag3D
information is displayed on the screen. This section describes IceTagAnalyser and its use.

3.4 Attaching an IceTag3D Device to an Animal
The IceTag3D is attached to an animal’s hind leg using the Velcro strap provided. The
IceTag3D should be mounted with the red arrow pointing upwards. Figure 1 shows a
correctly attached IceTag3D and illustrates the attachment in three steps:

2. Loop the strap around the animal’s leg and through the bigger, right hand side lug.
3. Press the Velcro back onto itself to fasten. Check the attachment is loose enough to
allow two to three of your fingers to be inserted between the strap and the animal’s leg.
