Portable appliance testing (PAT) specialist Seaward has upgraded its (PAT) data management program for large corporate database and health and safety system use.
Compatible with all makes of PAT tester‚ the PATGuard Elite SQL is designed for those using large advanced database formats such as Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server. Intended for those undertaking regular electrical safety testing of appliances, the new program “accommodates everything from downloading test results to test records, and report and certificate printing to email alerts for planning re-tests”. The 2.2 software enables “much larger” PAT results systems to be set up, and test records to be easily incorporated in existing company SQL databases, and allows shared database access. This gives different operators access to records simultaneously in a single database. Existing PATGuard test records can be incorporated into the new SQL format. A “preview” facility provides the ability to preview downloads and easily correct any mistakes that arise during testing.
