A variety of reports are available for printing directly from the PAT4, providing the advantages of hard copy output on site. PAT4 permits the printing of
the following range of reports:
• Client List • Location List
• Plain Asset List † • Assets with Current Results (Certificate of Test) †
• Retro report • Groups
• Assets with Due dates for testing †
All reports are printed directly from the
PAT4 using the parallel printer connector on the front panel.
† The asset and results reports indicated list the assets and results that relate to the current Client and Location.
The ‘Retro’ report produces a report which is compatible with the data which may be downloaded into “Shire’s” ‘Safety First’, ‘Safety First+’ packages.
However it must be remembered that the output for this report selection will appear on the parallel output of the PAT4. The above software packages
can only receive data via a PC serial port. It will therefore be necessary to pass the data through a parallel to serial converter, if you wish to download
from the
PAT4 to any of these packages. These are readily available at low cost from many sources.

feature must be enabled first - see Settings section).
