PAT 1000
PAT 1000S
PAT 1000X

The printer should have the dip switches set to:

Once these pre-requirements are met then the download can commence. With the tester at the start of its programme sequence, the display should read 'Press # for new test'. If this is not displayed, then by pressing ABORT the tester will be reset to the beginning of the programme sequence.
