Initialize the tag

You can initialize a tag with "Tag > Init" (<ALT+T+I>).
The "Init" function is used to overwrite the complete tag extremely quickly with a specific
value. The relevant value can be entered in the "Init Dialog" window. After writing, the
memory in the editor is also set to the entered value. For this purpose, you must have set the
correct tag memory size, see Tag Type Selection (Page 46). The value can be entered in
hexadecimal or ASCII depending on the setting under "Editor > Display".
