1. Start Windows™ running. Compatible with Windows™ 3.11. 95, 98, NT
2. Place the disk label “WinPAT Installation Disk 1” into the floppy drive on your
computer.
3. Open the File menu from Program Manager and choose the Run option from the
menu.
4. In the Run dialog box enter the command “A:\setup.exe” (or specify an alternative
drive if the setup disk is in another drive other than drive A:)
5. Follow the instructions prompted by the setup program.
Setup will by default place your program in a directory C:\WINPAT84K on the current
drive unless you have specified an alternative location. The first time WinPAT is run
an initialization file WINPAT.INI is created. You can find this file in the LOCAL
directory. The initialization file assumes that your program is installed to the
C:\WINPAT18K directory. If you have installed your program to a different drive or
directory then please modify the entry. You can edit Directory name by clicking on
Browse Button. Then either change names of directory or drive allocation.
2. OPENING THE PROGRAM

4. THE MAIN PROCESSING SCREEN
After the program has confirmed the rightful user of an account, then the main processing
screen is loaded. This screen will remain visible throughout the operation of the program.
The details of all equipment in the registry are displayed on the Main grid screen. The
default order for the equipment records displayed in the Main grid screen are by Part
Number. The columns in the Main grid screen can be customised to your own preference.
You can move columns around to group certain information together. Simply place the
cursor on the heading of the required column then drag it to the left or right to the correct
position. Information displayed in the Main grid screen cannot be edited directly.

Pat Serial No. The Serial number from the TESTER is required by the program to maintain
traceability of test results.
Site Name. Is required by the program to do Updating. Select from the dropdown list.
Update Seq. No. This option allows the user to nominate a range of tests to be
updated. This is useful when tests have been done across a number of sites.
The user wishes to nominate say tests 1-25 to be updated for one particular
site he enters 1 in the From box to 25 in the To box, then proceeds to select
the site where the items belongs. Click update and the Items 1 to25 will be
checked of and if found in that site. If tests 26 –30 belong to another site
then replace the from/to numbers to SEQ 26-30 select the new site and
continue as above. Do this until all records are updated and then it is safe to
clear test result grid.
Method:
Clear: This option clears the down load grid before a
new down load occurs.
NOTE: make sure you have updated all the test
results before CLEARING. To check this a tick
must be in the UPD box
Append: This option appends new down loaded data, to the current data in the down
load grid, when a new down load occurs.
It is recommended that you clear this regularly as
it will just become huge and difficult to
manipulate.
No Chars of PNO:
This option allows the user to nominate how may characters the Part number
is to be padded out when down loading from the Pats Unit. E.g. if 6 then if
a part number inputted by the operator of the Pats Units is say 101 then the
program will convert 101 to 000101. Therefore 101 is a different number
than 000101.
This is a critical issue and must be understood selecting the No.Chars can
make a difference in whether you need to down load again or not.

particular site nominated in the database, the program prompts the user to
add in the new equipment. The user has the option of going through the
update process or skipping the current test, perhaps to be done later. When
the user goes through the update processing then the UD (update flag) is
ticked otherwise it is not.

13. THE RCD SCREEN. (If Option Fitted)
This option is only visible via the EQUIPMENT TYPE Table. If you have bought
this, option an Equipment type RCD1P can be seen on the list.
This option allows the user to enter test results from their manual test methods
required for RCD devices. These tests include Trip times, Button tests, Half-Current
trip test etc.
Input to the RCD screen is done when the user clicks on the ADD TEST Button on
the HISTORY Tab of an Item with a type code prefixed with RCD**. When this
screen is displayed, the user has the option to enter new RCD test results. If the
user chooses to Edit Existing RCD records then the program searches for equipment
records with the prefix of RCD in the
equipment type field, starting from the
highlighted row on the Main Screen
grid. Then the program displays the
data on the screen the operator has the
opportunity to change and then save the
data.
The user can create other types of RCD
devices as discussed in creating new
types in the Registry Menu under
Equipment Types See section
NOTE; the Equipment Type must start
with a prefix RCD for this function to
work.
E.g. RCD10F = Fixed Switchboard
mounted RCD with 10mA trip current.

Default Trip times can be programmed for PASS/FAIL for these specific units also.
E.g. Fig displays trip time, Upper limit at 40ms anything > 40ms will flag fail.
If the Wand option (Manual Entry Option) has also been purchased. The
operator can scan the Bar code on the RCD that will then call the Item directly onto
the screen enabling the operator to enter test results on the spot.
Command Buttons:
Next Part No: In Add Mode this button saves the current details and increments the
part number, test number and prepares the screen to receive data for
a new test. In Edit Mode this button saves the current details and
then searches for the next part number record from the Main Screen
to display the details on the screen.
Next Test: This button saves the current details and attempts to display the next
available test results. If none is found the program notifies the user
and prompts for using the next available test number ready for
adding a new test. This happens in either Add Mode or Edit Mode.
