Testers aid installation and maintenance
Seaward Electronic has expanded its 800 series of test instruments for electrical test applications.
These systems allow very large databases to be created without response times being compromised.
Existing PATGuard test records can easily be incorporated into the new SQL format and the new program means that portable appliance test records can now be integrated into more comprehensive corporate databases and IT networks.
Designed for organisations and service companies that carry out electrical equipment and PAT tests on a regular basis, the extensive PATGuard Elite SQL program accommodates everything from downloading results for full test records, report and certificate printing, to e-mail alerts for planning retests and uploading test criteria into PAT testers.
In addition, the new software also incorporates a number of features developed as part of the version 2 upgrade of the PATGuard series of programs.
These include a preview facility that gives users the facility to preview downloads and easily correct mistakes that arise during the hustle and bustle of testing.
Another new feature is the ability to import records from some other PAT records systems making it easy for non-PATGuard users to move up to the Seaward SQL PAT database format.
The new PATGuard Elite SQL also includes a CSV file output facility for those who require a spreadsheet to be generated from the records.
Other options enable reports to be saved in Adobe Acrobat pdf format.
In addition to these new features, PATGuard Elite SQL will also allow shared database access - giving different operators access to the records at the same time in a single database.
PATGuard Elite SQL is the latest addition to the range of Seaward test record keeping programs that comprises version 2 editions of the PATGuard Lite entry level software, the intermediate PATGuard Pro and the comprehensive PATGuard Elite system. Request a free brochure from Seaward Electronic ...
