Type ID

The type ID (TID) of a SC4 object is the first set of eight hexadecimal numbers making up the object's type group instance (TGI) address. As an example, in the TGI "AAAAAAAA BBBBBBBB CCCCCCCC", the sequence "AAAAAAAA" is the object's TID.

TIDs are used in SC4 to organize like or related objects into broad categories, which are then further organized by use of the group ID (GID). For example, all (need example) have a TID of (need example's TID).
