The time and date is whenever the test was performed. I should imagine
there will be a lot of 'flags' Earth bond 25A yes, earth bond 10A no,
earth bond 100ma no, insulation test yes, visual pass, etc, etc. Plus
the actual figures recorded. I can download in multiple formats so I am
able to cross reference between the finished product and the contents of
this file. I refuse to use the expensive windows software and have
written my own.
Cracking this file would allow me potential extra functionality. I have
extracted all the verbose content, name of site being tested, name of
tester, description of appliance, location within building etc. So I'm
half way there now.

I imagine the time and date is always 'NOW', as the results are intended
to be processed in real time. I would also guess that some of the
numbers indicate the type of test in the form of a numeric code - like
error codes - but if the information is not available to cross
reference, it's going to take a long while to find out. Maybe that's
why I got my daughter a rather old and very unsophisticated pat tester.
It doesn't involve software and has analogue meters. But it does the job!
When I ran a commercial heating maintenance firm, things were moving
towards very expensive, Windows only, software. My workaround was
retirement!
