necessary. Newly created Asset icons have a ‘star’ to differentiate them from updated Assets. To switch back to a
normal Asset display, de-select the Last Download Only at the View drop down.
Merging Test Results
If downloaded Test Results have created additional Assets instead of updating existing Assets due to mistakes in
Site, Location and Asset ID names etc. it is possible to correct the mistake by merging Test Results.
To do this, select the Site, Location or Asset ‘drag and drop’ them to another Site, Location or Asset where existing
original Assets reside. Assets whose IDs are identical can be merged by confirming the PATGuard Elite SQL
message to merge.
Note
Care should be taken in selection as Assets which cannot be merged (i.e. the Asset ID is unique within the Site) will
simply be moved to the dropped tree level.

SSS and set File Type to sss.
Choose a previously registered tester from the Test Instrument drop down. Select the appropriate serial port from
the COM Port drop down.
The Settings… button gives you the option to change the communications settings prior to download. This should
not be necessary as the default settings are correct for each Test Instrument.
With the tester connected to the appropriate COM port, select OK to commence the download. Initiate the
download on the tester. See the tester Instruction Manual on how to commence a download action.
