Either press the ALL key to accept the displayed option or press the DISP key to
show the next option which is the ‘Appliance ID’ (see Fig. 9).
Fig. 9
To select this option press the PROCEED key as prompted or press the DISP key
to select the next option which can then be selected using the PROCEED key or
skipped by pressing the DISP key as appropriate.
Pressing the MAN key at any time will result in the display reverting to the ready
mode.
If the display has been selected then repeated pressing of the PROCEED key or
holding it down will cause the data from the record(s) to be output sequentially to
the display.
If the printer has been selected as the output device then all the data stored in the
chosen record(s) will then be automatically printed.
It should be noted that when the PRINT key is first pressed, the window for
selecting the baud rate of the serial port is displayed (see Fig. 10). Pressing the
RATE key allows a baud rate of 1200 or 9600 to be selected. Pressing the PRINT
key, the display that shows the option to output all records appears (see Fig. 8)
and the operation is as described earlier except that the PRINT rather than DISP
key is used.

date setting by pressing and releasing the DATE key. The display will show the
last date set with a cursor under the first digit to be changed (see Fig. 7). Change
the first pair or numbers in the date shown if required then press the PROCEED
key to move on to the next pair and repeat the process until the cursor is under
the date’s year digits.

Press the PROCEED key to fix the new date into memory or press the MAN key
to return to the set up menu with the original date unchanged.
If the date set during this process is invalid, e.g. 35th day of the month the cursor
will return to the wrongly set numeric ready for correction when the final
PROCEED key press is made.
3.3 Outputting Stored Records
Test data previously stored in the PAT memory can be viewed or printed using
the DISP or PRINT keys respectively.
NOTE: If records are to be printed, a printer must be correctly connected to the
serial port and must be switched on and ready to receive data. However, some
printers can appear to be readers and so can cause corruption when the applied
ID or test code required to be entered. Therefore, it is recommended that the
printer is only connected when the PAT is about to download information to it.
To display a test record press the DISP key. The display will then show the option
to output all the records (see Fig. 8).
