Hi Richard

Are you looking to support this new tester or can we use the omega settings

Hi Bob1

Yes we would definitely like to support the new Metrel Sigma Pat tester. We tried to get hold of one earlier last month but couldn't find anyone that had any stock yet. Have you purchsed one?

It's extremely unlikely that any of the Omega Pat or Beta Pat settings will work in downloading the Sigma PAT as Metrel have more than likely changed the way in which the Sigma Pat downloads. Obviously Metrel would prefer you to buy their software rather than SimplyPats.

The Sigma Pat looks like a very interesting new PAT tester and a great addition to their range, so we will certainly try to make SimplyPats compatible with it, if at all possible. I will try and investigate further.

Regards, Richard

Hi Ricard

Yes mine arrived last week, using it sat, looks to be very good
Metrel uk have stocks if that helps and I think test 4 less
download and upload ports, serial and USB
mains and battery operation

Hi Bob1

Thanks for that, Im alway look forward to having a play with a new PAT tester. I will set the wheels in motion on Monday and see if we can't get hold of one.

I will try and let you know as soon as possible whether we will be able to download from the tester once Ive had a look at it.

Regards, Richard.

Hi Bob1

We have taken delivery today of a Metrel SigmaPat MI3310. Yes it looks fascinating although havent done much testing with it yet. Over the next couple of days I hope to get some time to do some testing and start having a look at the downloading of data to SimplyPats.

As soon as I know how possible it will be to download from the SigmaPat to SimplyPats, I iwll let you know, and a time scale of when we would hope to have the code completed.

Regards, Richard.

Hi Bob1



I know Richard hates admitting he’s wrong, so i thought i would update the post on his behalf.

We received our Metrel SigmaPAT MI3310A today, charged it up and proceeded to put some tests into the PAT.

We then connected it up to the PC via the supplied USB cable, fired up SimplyPats, Selected the Metrel - OmegaPat+ (MI3305) Or BetaPat+ (MI3304) from the PAT Tester drop down menu and tried downloading.

To our amazement it worked without any problems, however we still need to test it fully.

I have uploaded some images of the SigmaPAT which can be viewed by clicking on the following link.

In the short term this will at least allow SimplyPats users to download from the Metrel SigmaPAT, we will obviously be looking at adding a dedicated settings screen in the near future.

Hi Richard

Kind Regard Bob

PS please thank Carl for the phone call about the report colours had a bad mobile signal and got cut off but thanks for the update

Hi Bob,

Sorry for the delayed response.

We’ve added the proper download routine for the Metrel SigmaPat MI3310 and it will be available in the next update (6.0.5).

If you would like a BETA version so you can download fully from your SigmaPat (correct limits etc) please let me know.

Regards,
Lorna
