Annotating images
19
19.1 General
You can save additional information with an infrared image by using annotations. Annota-
tions make reporting and post-processing more efficient, by providing essential informa-
tion about the image, e.g., conditions and information about where an image is taken.
Annotations are added to the image file, and can be viewed and edited in the image ar-
chive, and also when moving files from the camera to reporting software on the computer.
• You can set the camera to display annotation tools before an image is saved. Select
(Settings) > Save options & storage > Add annotation after saving.
• You can also add annotations to a saved image in the image archive.
Note This section describes the procedures for adding annotations to a saved image
in the image archive. Adding annotations when saving an image works in a similar way.

19.3 Adding a table
19.3.1 General
You can save a table with textual information to the image file. This feature is a very effi-
cient way of recording information when you are inspecting a large number of similar ob-
jects. The idea behind using a table with textual information is to avoid filling out forms or
inspection protocols manually.
