Importing from your tester

Nothing is imported until you've reviewed it, and the original file is kept with each import as evidence. Importing the same results again doesn't create duplicates: tests that were imported before are skipped.

Kewtech SMARTPAT (KewPAT app)

1. In the KewPAT app, export the database. This gives you a file called PatAppData.db.
2. Copy the file to your computer.
3. On Import, choose Kewtech SMARTPAT, upload the file, check the review and click Import these tests.

Seaward, Megger, Metrel, Martindale, Fluke and other testers

1. In your tester's PC software, export your results as CSV. If the software only saves Excel files, open the file in Excel and use Save As → CSV.
2. On Import, choose your tester and upload the file. If the export has no client or site column, type them into the form.
3. Columns are matched automatically by their headings. If a required column (asset ID, test date or client) can't be found, you'll see a table of every column with its first few values. Choose what each one holds, then click Apply columns.
4. Review the summary and any warnings, then click Import these tests. Tick Remember these columns to have the next file with the same layout mapped for you.

Good to know

• Readings with units, such as 0.12 Ω, >299 MΩ or 450 µA, and decimal commas are understood.
• Dates are read day-first (UK style). If your software writes month-first dates, choose that under Dates are written.
• If the file gives no limit for a reading, the standard IET Code of Practice limit for the appliance's class is used. If the tester passed a reading that would fail that limit (a long lead's earth bond, for example), it's recorded without a limit and flagged for you to check.
