Connecting the PAT to your PC
You DO NOT connect your Megger PAT410, Megger PAT410, Megger PAT410 with a cable, rather you upload and download to a USB memory stick.
Backup the PAT
SimplyPats uploads to the Megger 400 database. Before you can proceed you must save a copy of the database to your memory stick.

Make sure you have inserted a correctly formatted (FAT or FAT32) USB Memory Stick into the USB socket on your PAT Tester. Use the Right Arrow key on the Megger tester to show the Data TAB as shown below.
Use the Arrow keys on the Megger to Select Backup To USB and then click the OK button on the PAT tester.

Once done, press the OK button on the Megger to save your data. You should receive a message saying that the data has been transferred successfully.
