Importing PAT Link (tm) opt files into SimplyPats.

SimlplyPats can download from most of the Metrel range of PAT testers (see viewtopic.php?f=43&t=385 for a list)

However we have some SimplyPats users that use both the Metrel PAT Link Software and SimplyPats. If you want to import the .opt files produced by the Metrel PAT Link software, click on the File Menu in SimplyPats, then choose the Open File option.

When the Open File dialogue appears, change the Files Of Type drop down list to PatsLink files (*.opt) and click open.

There is comprehensive help in the help file on this subject in the topic Importing Files.

NOTE: The opt files produced by Metrel have undergone revisions over the years and you may find SimplyPats may not open your particular revision. If this is the case, please contact the SimplyPats support and we will do what we can to make that revision work.

Metrel Pat Link Pro.

We beleive the Metrel Pat Link Pro software stores it's data in SQL Server 2005 Express and at this current time we have not written any import features for this data. However if this would be of interest to those SimplyPats users using both our and Metrel Pat Link Pro software then please contact support.
