Powerful and intuitive infrared image analysis and report generation tools are provided for convenient evaluation of infrared inspection results.
This latest generation reporting software introduces two brand new and powerful features - trending and SuperView.
Trending allows thermal performance to be tracked over time so that temperature patterns can be predicted and corrective action planned.
The SuperView feature enables infrared and visual digital images to be blended into a single image with a user controllable degree of overlay.
This allows thermal interpretation of where the faults lie and concurrent analysis.
A Report Wizard guides the user step-by-step through the process of adding images and text ensuring the job of report creation is both easy and quick.
It automatically combines all IR inspection data - thermal and visual images, temperature measurements and text notes - into a crisp and professional maintenance report.
If needs be an incomplete report can be saved to be finished later.
The Rapid Report Manager allows the creation of desktop icons based on predefined report templates so that image files can be dragged and dropped into the report.
