About the App

“Thermoscope” app is designed to process (analyze) thermal image files (thermograms) from

different thermographic cameras:

NEC(Japan) – TH7800, TH9100 (*.sit); F30W, R500, R500P (*.jpg)

FLIR(US) (ThermaCAM ™) – E40, E60, T620bx, SC640, P640 (*.jpg) TESTO(Germany) – Testo 882, 875-2i, T885-1, T885-2 (*.bmt)

(The supplied package contains sample files of all claimed thermographic cameras)

The app supports three interface languages: English, German, Russian.

“Thermoscope” works on Windows 7 and later versions. The App is protected from unauthorized

use with Guardant the electronic key. To run the program, you have to insert the key in any USB port of

your personal computer. The key is delivered with the program to the customer.

The App interface is represented as a frame divided into three vertical sections:

The left section is considered to display a tree of folders and files and to select thermograms for their

processing.

The middle section (the workspace) is designed for processing selected thermograms. For each

selected thermogram, a new tab is created in the workspace. In the lower part of the workspace the graphs

of the studied areas of thermograms and the table of points are formed.

The right section is designed for creating reports in MS Word format. At the top of the page, a

template is selected and displayed to form the next page of the report, and at the bottom, the elements of

this template are filled automatically or manually.

The “Settings” button locates in the upper left angle of the interface and opens the general settings

window.

When you move cursor at the point of installation, the tooltip pops up.

Thermograms

The left side of the interface displays a folder tree and the content. Folder expands (opens) and collapses

(closes) with a single mouse click on the gray triangle to the left of the folder name. When you close the

program, the current open folder will be saved. The next time when you start the program, this folder will

be automatically opened.

The context menu is available for folders. You can open it by the right mouse button.

Show thumbnails – opens the window on the top of the folder tree, where thermogram thumbnails

(small images 80p. wide) are formed from the selected folders without bypassing its subfolders.

The procedure of creating thumbnails may take a long time however it does not block the user

interface. You can open a thermogram for further processing by double-clicking it. You can close

the window with thumbnails by X-mark on the upper right angle of the window.

Setup filter – the filter determines which file format (with which extension) the system will display

in the drop-down folders. The filter is set for all folders at once. The filter works only when you

first open the folder. If you apply it to an already opened folder, you must run "Update folder"

Update folder – is used to update the content of a folder in case it was changed by other programs

(file managers).

Group operations \ conversion to graphic format - the procedure of converting thermogram files to

one of the graphic formats. The current settings of the scale “... for a preview” of thumbnails are

used to create images. If the scale for reports is enabled, it will be attached to the right or left to the

graphic image. The conversion process displays the name of the processed file, the number of

converted files and the total time of the procedure. When you click the “START” button, the label

changes to “STOP” - the conversion process can be stopped at any time.

Source folder - the folder from which the context menu is called. From this folder, all files corresponding

to the previously installed filter, if one is installed, will be selected in turn. Files that do not conform to the

thermographic format, such as true graphics Jpeg, will be skipped;

www.matasis.com

www.matasis.com


Destination folder - the folder where the resulting files will be written.

The file renaming template - is a mask for generating result files, where " * " is the name of the

source file. The template should not be empty and should not consist of a single asterisk if the

destination folder is the same as the source folder, so as not to overwrite the source files of

thermograms with the extension *.jpg;

Information tip "I" - shows the current settings that will be applied when converting files.

A context menu is available for files. Called by the right mouse button on the file.

Delete – file will be deleted bypassing the “bin”

Rename – a text box is provided to rename the file.

When you move cursor on the file, a thumbnail of the thermogram pops up next to the name. The size

of the thumbnail is set in the settings. The title bar shows the date and time of the thermogram, size,

minimum and maximum temperature. The camera name locates below the thumbnail. The temperature

range will not be displayed at the specified minimum size (160 p. wide). "Pop-up" thumbnail will also

appear when you move cursor on the thermograms presented as a set of thumbnails (width 80 p.) in a

folder.

Temperature scale

Temperature scale includes:

Drop-down list of palette selection:

Rainbow, Purple, Contrast, Heat of steel, Gray

Fields for setting the upper and lower limits of the temperature scale (for manual mode)

Scale mode selection

Auto – upper and lower limits calculated automatically as the max. and min. temperatures on

a thermogram

Full – scale limits according to the thermographic camera installed limits.

Manual – user sets the limits.

To the right of the scale mode setting there is a round button that brings up the Menu:

Use for preview – the current scale palette is recorded and later used for thumbnails

Place opposite to – the entire area of the scale is moved to the opposite side of the thermogram.

This setting is recorded when you exit the program.

Fields with purple frames, where min. and max. temperature is displayed, locate to the right of the limit

setting fields in manual mode. The vertical purple line segment, which shows the area of the scale used to

draw the image of the thermogram, locates between the fields. If scale limits already at required values,

wich is possible at “Full” and “Manual” modes, then some of the points of the thermogram will be drawn

either white (hotter than the upper limit) or black (colder than the lower limit). The signal symbols (white

or black squares) will appear above and below the vertical purple line segment.

There is a possibility of redistribution of the density of the color palette for more differentiated display

of required thermogram temperatures. To do this, press the left mouse button on the appropriate place of

the color scale, pull up or down to the required level and release the key. A horizontal line will appear at

this point. The part of the color palette will stretch on the scale and the opposite part will shrink. You can

form the “limits of unevenness” on the scale, by repeating this action several times. The scale set up in this

way cannot be saved and will be valid only for the processed thermogram! To cancel the unevenness of

the color palette, press the right mouse button on the color scale.

Shapes: dots, lines, areas

The “mode” selecting panel locates above the working area of the thermogram and contains such

elements as:

«Cursor-pointer» - to work with already created geometric shapes\ to exit the “building shapes” mode.

«Dot», «Line», «Polygonal line», «Ellipse», «Rectangle», «Polygon» - to create such geometric shapes

«Т» - to create shortcuts - text comments.

(Working with shortcuts is described in the "Shortcuts" section)

There are three types of geometrical shapes:

Dots

Lines (straight, polygonal)

Areas (ellipse, rectangle, polygon)

Figures of different types are processed differently and the results are displayed in three different tabs

under the thermogram: "Dots" - dot table, "Lines" - line graphs, "Areas" - area graphs.

To create a shape click corresponding on the panel. The image of the selected element becomes dim

(unavailable).

The following terms will be used:

Hold the button - press and do not release the mouse button

Click the button - click and immediately release the mouse button

Drag - move the mouse to change the shape

Creating a shape

1. Dot - click the left mouse button on the image of the thermogram (the dot is created immediately

at the time of pressing the button);

2. Straight Line - hold the left mouse button on the beginning of the line, move the cursor to the end

of the line, release the key;

3. Polygon line - hold the left mouse button on the beginning of the line, move the cursor to the first

break of the line and click the right mouse button, drag the cursor to the next break or release the

left mouse button. You can use [.]Dot key instead of using the right mouse button (laptop). It is

allowed to cross the edges of the line. After the polygon line is completed, you can add a break on

any edge. To do this, move the cursor to edge, hold “Ctrl” key button and the right mouse button,

drag to the needed location, release the mouse button and “Ctrl”;

4. Rectangle – hold the left mouse button on the upper left or lower right angle of the needed rectangle

and drag the cursor cornorwise ;

5. Ellipse – same as rectangle;

6. Polygon – same as a polyline.

When the mouse cursor goes beyond the frame of the thermogram, the construction of the shape

outside this frame does not continue: when releasing the left mouse button outside the frame of the

thermogram, the shape will consist only of its within the frame part.

www.matasis.com

www.matasis.com


Changing and moving a shape

Moving a shape – move the cursor on the shape. The cursor will change to the crosshair, which means

you can move the shape in needed location by holding the left mouse button. Release the button when

successful. The program has some delay of the cursor movement when crossing the figure with the mouse

for a more convenient "capture".

Changing a shape – same as the moving but using the right mouse button. In fact, you will be moving

the dot of the shape nearest to the “capture point”. The shape will be changing according to that dot

movement.

When you move a part of the figure beyond the frame of the thermogram, the figure will be saved in

the "full" volume, not only its within the frame part. However, only those points of the figure that are within

the frame of the thermogram will be processed. For example, when you take out part of the ellipse, the

semi-ellipse will be processed. You can use this if necessary.

Operations with the shape (the shortcut menu)

You can call the shortcut menu by right mouse button when the cursor is changed to the crosshair.

The «operation mode» panel must be in “cursor-pointer” mode, not the “creating shapes” mode. You can

exit the “creating shapes” mode by clicking the right mouse button on any free space of the image.

Customize the shape/label – see "adjusting the image of the shape area ".

To create a shortcut – see "shortcut".

To set a Pmin/Pmax/Pavg point – the program finds a point with the corresponding temperature

(minimum/maximum/average) within the Shape area and creates a Dot shape with a special label on

the thermogram. If there are several corresponding temperature points, the only one closest to the

center of the figure area will be created. The calculation and selection of the average value point is

carried out with an accuracy of tenths, because with a more accurate calculation to hundredths a

corresponding dot may not be found. This operation is not available for Dot shapes.

To cut a thermogram – creates a new image of the thermogram, which will be equal to shape area. If the

shape is not a rectangle, the white areas, which will not be processed, will appear on the thermogram.

This operation is available only for Areas shapes.

Upload to MS Excel - available only for “Rectangle” shape

Additional control keys*

Move the cursor on the shape (the cursor will change to the crosshair) and press [D] or [Delete] key

to remove the shape. For mass removal of shapes use “Delete” - the thermogram menu item (see below).

You can quickly access the context menu for the last created shape by pressing [A] and delete a shape

by pressing [D] or [Delete] without moving the mouse cursor on the shape. It is convenient to use for

placing Pmin / Pmax / Pavg points in different parts of the thermogram. You can open the context menu

above any of the remaining shapes (if the last created shape was deleted before) by pressing [A].

Adjust the display of the shape area

You need to open the context menu by clicking the right mouse button while the cursor is on the

shape (the cursor changes to the crosshair) and select "Adjust shape/label" to set the properties of a shape.

If the context menu of the shape does not open, it will mean that you have not left the “Creating shapes”

mode – click the "pointer" on the "mode selection" panel or right-click on any empty space of the image.

The “Properties of the shape” window contains the settings of the thermogram point area, which are

limited by this geometric figure (shape): the emission factor and the settings of properties of the shape label.

Dot shapes, emission of which = 1, will be displayed at the table of points with the value of the

thermogram emission.

www.matasis.com

www.matasis.com


An inscription near a geometric figure is called a label. The labels of each type of shapes start with a

certain letter: P (point) , L (line), S (square). The letter is followed by a unique number (counter) within

each type. When you add or remove shapes, the numbers of the remaining shapes are recalculated

automatically. The default point labels are supplemented by the temperature at this point. The shape label

can be hidden by deselecting "Show the label of the figure".

The color of the shape label bases on the average color of the thermogram at the location of the label

in order to make it the most contrasting and will be selected automatically. Color matching is carried out

continuously when changing the color of the location (substrate). If necessary, you can "set a permanent

label color" and «Set a permanent label background”.

The position of the shape label is prioritized near the angle of the shape-circumscribed rectangle. The

angle is defined in the system settings – “Figure label location”. However, if, when you move the shape,

the label goes beyond the frames of the thermogram, it will be automatically relocated to another "free"

angle, turning them clockwise. If necessary, the label can be located in a different place by dragging with

the mouse (the cursor changes to the crosshair). After changing the position of the label manually, it is no

longer determined by the "free" angles, but is defined as an offset relative to the center of the figure.

For the contour line of the shape, you can set its thickness - a fractional value in the range from 1 to 3.

Creating shapes and customizing shapes/labels are also available for regular images (not thermograms)

opened in the workspace. However, you will have some limitations related to the unavailability of

temperature points.

The reference point

You can set the only one reference point on the thermogram. The reference point can be set with “point

setting” mode on. There are two different types of using a reference point.

1) While holding down the [R] key.

The reference point will be labeled as "R".

The label will display the actual temperature. This temperature will be used in calculations (scales,

for example).

All other points set on the thermogram will have "ΔTn" labels, where “n” -the serial number of the

point starting from 1 (excluding the reference point).

The labels will display Δ- deviation from the actual temperature at the reference point. The actual

temperatures will be used in calculations (scales, for example).

2) While holding [R] + [left Shift]. This mode is called "calculation of the difference in the entire image"

- when calculating the temperature in each pixel of the thermogram image, the temperature at the

reference point will be subtracted from its temperature.

The reference point will have a «R’» label.

The label will display the actual temperature.

In calculations (scales, for example) temperature = 0 will be used.

All the other points installed on the thermogram will have a “ΔTn” label.

The labels will display Δ- deviation from the actual temperature at the reference point as for all of

the pixels of the images.

In calculations (scales, for example) the Δ- deviation from the reference point as for all of the pixels

of the images.

When you remove a reference point from all remaining points, the label changes to the normal "Pn" and

the temperature will be calculated as usual.

Label

Label - is a rectangle with text, it can contain a colored frame; it can have a pointer (arrow) to a place,

which is described in the label. A label can be unbound or bound to a shape.

To create an unbound label, select the “T” element in the “Operation mode” panel and click the left

mouse button on the place of the thermogram where the arrow should point. The label itself will be initially

placed in the upper left corner of the thermogram. The label moves by grabbing it with the left mouse button

anywhere in the bounding box and then moving the mouse. The arrow moves by capturing and moving its

end with the left mouse button. When you move an unbound label, the arrow retains its pointer position.

To create a linked label, select “Create label” from the shortcut menu of the shape. When you move

a label or shape, the arrow of the linked label moves automatically and always directs from the label to the

shape. A shape can have multiple labels. When you delete a shape, all its labels will be also deleted.

You can move the label out of the thermogram frames in any direction. The purple border that limits

the thermogram will expand automatically. The final image to copy and/or paste into the report will be the

entire content within the thermogram boundary.

To change the properties of a label, right-click on the shortcut and select “Customize label”.

Delete label – removes the shape label

Delete shape – removes the shape with all its labels

Setting up tagblock

Bind – you can bind the label to another shape (available on the thermogram) or cancel the

binding (unbind)

Frame – on/off

Arrow – on/off

Color – a single color for the frame and arrow

Font, Font color – font and font color of the text of the label

Background - on/off (the background has a faint tint of the frame color)

www.matasis.com

www.matasis.com


Group “Show” – statistical information that is automatically displayed on the label, the order

of output of indicators corresponds to their order on the screen form.

Place text above statistics – display the text of the entered comment above/below statistical

information

If the label is empty, it will display “Text…”

Creating and customizing labels are also available for regular images (not thermograms) opened in the

workspace. However, you will have some limitations related to the unavailability of temperature points.

Thermogram

A thermogram opens by double-clicking on a file name (in the left section of the folder tree). The

first thermogram after starting the program will be displayed using the Rainbow palette; the subsequent

thermograms will be displayed using the palette of the current open thermogram. If the size of the

thermogram is larger than the space intended for it in the program interface, you will have to use the vertical

and horizontal scroll bars. If the thermogram file contains a photographic image, or if there is a file with

the same name *.jpg (photo) in the folder with a thermogram, the program will display it in the upper right

corner of the space intended for the thermogram. The thermogram photo will initially be displayed in a

reduced format. The photo is above the thermogram, overlaps it. There is a standard Windows zoom

mechanism for the photo: while pressing [Ctrl], the forward rotation enlarges the image, and the backward

rotation reduces it. In addition, the ability to switch between the minimum and maximum scale of the photo

by double-clicking it is added.

Thermogram operations (shortcut menu)

You can call the shortcut menu by right mouse button click on a thermogram. The mouse cursor

should not be on objects located on the thermogram (shapes, labels, shortcuts), and the "operation mode"

panel should be in the "cursor-pointer" state (not the “creating shapes” mode).

Customize thermogram - opens the window of customizing the temperature calculation procedure at all

points of the thermogram (see “Thermogram customizing”)

Copy to clipboard – the current thermogram with its temperature scale copies to the clipboard

Set Pmin/Pmax/Pavg point – the program finds a point with the corresponding temperature

(minimum/maximum/average) within the Shape area and creates a Dot shape with a special label on

the thermogram. If there are several corresponding temperature points, the only one closest to the

center of the figure area will be created. The calculation and selection of the average value point is

carried out with an accuracy of tenths, because with a more accurate calculation to hundredths a

corresponding dot may not be found.

Subtraction of thermograms – if there are other thermograms open for processing, the program offers a list

of them to select one (or several), the temperatures of which will be subtracted from the temperatures

of the current thermogram. Before subtraction of the next thermogram, its size is checked, and if it

does not match the size of the reduced thermogram, the processing will pass such a thermogram and

the message will be displayed on the screen. The points of the reduced and subtracted thermograms

are correlated by their coordinates, i.e. by the upper left corner of the image. The result of the

www.matasis.com

www.matasis.com


procedure is a new image in the open workspace. The file of the original thermogram does not

change.

Attaching of thermograms – if there are other thermograms open for processing, the program offers a list

of them to select one (or several), which can be attached to the current thermogram. The current

thermogram will be listed too, which means it can be attached to itself. After selecting the connecting

thermogram, the connection side is determined: right or bottom. Then, what image (temperatures) to

use: the original (from the file) or already changed by settings. Once attached, the “precise

positioning” mode of the attached image is available. The attached thermogram can be placed on or

under the current one. The result of the procedure is a new image in the open workspace, the file of

the original thermogram does not change.

Export to MS Excel – “Thermogram.xlsx” file is created in the user's home directory

”C:\Users\UserName\Documents\” . Cells are filled with temperature values, with the general

settings of the thermogram taking into account. After the file is generated, the program offers to open

it. Reloading of thermogram temperatures will re-create the file with the same name.

Delete – removes shapes created on a thermogram. You can remove all shapes or shapes of each type (dots,

lines, areas).

www.matasis.com

www.matasis.com


Setting the thermogram display

Setting the thermogram is a series of procedures (functions) applied sequentially to the temperature

at each point of the thermogram from the original file. The sequence of application corresponds to the order

of procedures in the settings window.

Noise filtration - the first and most resource-intensive procedure. The temperature at each point of the

thermogram is calculated as the average of the points of the surrounding square 3x3 or 5x5.

Temperature shift – the value number is added to the temperature calculated in the previous step.

Compensation for poor shooting - the area of the thermogram along the perimeter (circle) may have

distortions due to, for example, fogging of the thermal imager lens. This distortion is compensated

through the parabolic function. The “image boundary shift” sets the maximum value of the

adjustment at the edge of the image (at the furthest point from the center). The “compensation

function curvature” sets the decrease of the shift rate in the direction from the edge to the center.

Emissivity - the emission factor applied to the entire image. It can be set either manually or by selecting

from a table of known coefficients for different materials. You can call the table by “?” key button

and chose the required coefficient by double-clicking it. The «application range» can limit the

application of the coefficient. In this case the coefficient will be applied only to the points whose

temperature (calculated in the previous stages) lies within the specified range.

Thermogram scaling

The scale factor of the thermogram (Zoom x N) is below the thermogram and above “Dots”, “Lines”,

“Areas” tabs. The coordinates of the current cursor position, the color of the temperature at the current point

and the temperature are also displayed nearby.

The scale factor can take integer values from 1 to 10. Press the [Ctrl] key while the cursor is on the

thermogram and scroll the mouse wheel to change the coefficient: from yourself to increase the coefficient,

to yourself – to reduce it. When zooming, the program positions the thermogram in the window so that the

location of the point under the mouse cursor remains in its place. The mouse cursor must be kept in the

center of the studying area so it does not go beyond the viewport when zooming. When the coefficients 8,

9, 10 are reached, a thin gray grid, where each cell represents one pixel of the thermogram, will appear.

www.matasis.com

www.matasis.com


Zooming is provided both for more accurate positioning of the mouse cursor when creating figures

on the thermogram, and for the analysis of temperatures at specific points. In the “zoom mode”(Zoom > 1)

the program in the current version disables the display of labels. It also becomes unavailable to call the

shortcut menu of the shape and, as a result, to create labels

www.matasis.com

www.matasis.com


Dots table, line and area graphs

“Dots”, “Lines”, “Areas” tabs locate in the lower part of the working area, under the thermogram. They

appear immediately when you open the thermogram file.

Dots – dots table is formed and maintained up to date automatically. The table is rebuilt every time

any changes occur to the dot shapes created on the thermogram.

Lines – “line” shape graphs. The line graph shows the temperature at the certain points of the line.

The step of the variable function (graph) = 1 Dot (pixel) of the thermogram. The program automatically

plots the last created or modified line. The graph updates immediately after releasing the mouse button

(moving is completed). The list of labels of all lines created on the thermogram locates to the left of the

graph. The required graph or a combination of them on the same axis is displayed after selecting one or

more lines from the list of labels of all lines. The symbols on the coordinate axes are recalculated

automatically. Multiple lines are selected in the standard MS Windows way: selecting the first and the last

line of the list holding [shift]; or selecting arbitrary set of lines holding [ctrl].

Areas – “area” shape graphs. The area graph shows the distribution density of the temperature values

within that area. The rest is similar to the "Lines" tab.

When performing any actions on the thermogram with the shape, the program automatically makes

the corresponding tab type active. Each graph has its own color. In addition, there is the legend (the shape

label matches to the color of its graph) on the right to the graph. It is not possible to display graphs of more

than 9 shapes of the same type at the same time (limited by the program). The “copy to clipboard” shortcut

menu is available on all three types of tabs. If the "Rebuild graphs and table online" setting is enabled, the

graph of the modifying shape will be constantly rebuilt. Similarly, the dot table will be constantly updated.

For example, when a point is moved along a thermogram. This mode is very resource-intensive and is not

recommended for low-capability computers.

Report template

Report template is a regular MS Office file. This file has the *.docx extension. Your MS Office

version should be 2007 or higher. The open-source technology “Open XML” has been applied since 2007.

The first time you select a template in the program, a file with the template name but in *.xps extension

will be created in the folder where the template is located. This file is required to display the selected

template in the “XML Paper Specification” format in the upper right corner of the program interface. This

file is created once and then it is automatically updated only after making changes to the template file.

To customize the report, the “Developer” tab must be available in the MS Word main menu. It is

turned off (not visible) by default, when you install MS Office. Find the “Feed settings” bar to turn it on.

For MS Word 13: [File]->[Settings]->[Feed settings]->[Main tabs]->check the box next to "Developer".

There is “Control elements” section in the “Developer” tab.

There are two icons (the second and the third on the left) in the upper left corner of this section. Their names

become visible, when moving cursor on them:

“Plain text” content control

“Illustration” content control

The process of setting up a template consists of forming a page (possibly several) by placing arbitrary

information on it and placing “plain text” and “illustration” content controls in the right places. It is also

necessary to set correct sizes of the “illustration” because the image will be displayed subsequently in this

place. You can set “Save the size of the thermogram in the report” in the program settings: the image of the

thermogram will be either scaled with the preservation of proportions, or displayed in the original scale

(possibly partly), when at the “Illustration” area. The rest of the thermograms will be always scaled.

To add the “text” type field, place the text cursor in the required location in the template and click

the "plain text" icon:

www.matasis.com

www.matasis.com


When the created control element is selected (by mouse click), the "Properties" button is available in

the "controls" section - click it:

The "Name" field must be filled in with the text that the program will call the fields to be filled in

manually or automatically in the interface section for forming and filling the report pages created on the

basis of this template. The program will also repeat the font and color from the “place to enter text” field.

You can use it for more individual name selection of some report fields in the program interface. The default

text “place to enter text” can be replaced with any other, more compact text, such as “text”. However, it is

not recommended to delete the text completely.

The “tag” field may be filled in accordance to the “tags designation in the report template.docx” -

the file comes with the program. If the Tag in the template does not correspond to any known program tag,

then the program will not automatically fill this field of information from the thermogram file - it will have

to be filled manually. Place the text cursor in the needed location on the template and click the “illustration”

icon to add an “illustration” type field:

When the created control element is selected (by mouse click), the “properties” button is available

in the “control elements” section - click it (fill rules are as for the “text” type field). You can resize an

illustration field when created by dragging the small squares on the perimeter.

The illustration field can be additionally identified by specifying the color of the illustration. To do

Report

You must select a template in the upper right angle of the program before creating a report.

The icon on the left, which is highlighted as “select template” opens the standard file format selection

window *.docx. The name of the selected file will appear in the drop-down list, and the image of the

contents of this file below it.

You can select different templates and all of them in a single instance will be in the drop-down list.

We made this so you can switch the template files already selected from the folder in the drop-down list.

The template selected in the list is the template to be inserted into the report. It is assumed that the template

will consist of one page. However, if it contains more than one page, all of the pages will be in the report.

The page transfer will be added to the report before inserting the pages of the next template into the report.

Interface of the report (lower right corner) operates on pages, which contain the full scope of the template's

content with its own page transfers.

The “create new report” button is available after selecting a template in the report generating section.

This button opens a window where you can select an existing or create a new *.docx file. If you select an

existing file, the program will warn you about overwriting it. When you select a report file, you must be

careful not to select a template file. When you create a report, the contents of the current template will be

added to it immediately.

The following buttons will be available:

Add template pages - adds the content of the current template (selected in the drop-down list) to the report.

Fill the report page – fills “text” and “illustration” type fields automatically in accordance to the names of

their tags. Fields can also be filled manually: “text” – be entering the text, “illustration” – by the

Drag-and-Drop method. “Insert an illustration” here refers to thermogram, photo, any any graphs

and dots table. The presence of scales near the thermal is adjustable through the setup menu of a

program “to insert a thermogram with a scale in a report”. It will be impossible to insert something

other than dots table in the “illustration” field after inserting the table of dots. The fill operation can

be performed repeatedly.

Choose page - select the “page” of the report to fill in the fields.

Save report - the report file is reformed by sequentially adding all the pages to itself. The report is saved

automatically before the next page is added. The program displays a warning when there are unsaved

in the report changes when closing the programm.
