IRT Cronista adds the Thermo Reports tab to the Microsoft Word ribbon. Use its commands to edit generated reports, create reports manually, and design report templates.
The available commands depend on whether you are working with a generated report or a report template and on the current selection.
If the Thermo Reports tab is not available, see Troubleshooting reporting problems.
Report Sections group
A report section associates infrared images with their related pictures, graphs, fields, and tables. Report elements in one section cannot use an infrared image from another section.
Command |
Purpose |
|---|---|
Browse for Images |
Opens IRT Cronista for the current section of a generated report. It opens the linked infrared image when available or lets you select an image for a section with empty report placeholders. See Editing generated reports. |
New Section |
Inserts a section break at the cursor and starts the new section on the next page. |
Delete Section |
Removes the current section and its report content. The source infrared image is not deleted and remains stored separately from the report document. |
Duplicate |
Inserts a cleared copy of the current section immediately after it. Use this command to reuse a section layout for another infrared image. |
Previous |
Moves the cursor to the previous section. |
Next |
Moves the cursor to the next section. |
Template Data group
Use these commands to define or change data that is stored with the complete report or report template.
Command |
Purpose |
|---|---|
Notations > Link Notations |
Stores a selected notations set in the document and makes its notations available for report fields and tables. |
Notations > Edit Notations |
Edits the notations set stored in the document. |
Document Properties |
Adds, removes, reorders, imports, exports, or changes document-wide properties. Document property fields display these values. |
Formulas |
Creates or edits calculations based on report data. |
Analysis Template: Links or removes image analysis stored as the analysis template in a report template. This command is available only while editing a report template. See Analysis templates.
Pictures and Graphs group
These commands insert report elements at the cursor. In a report template, the elements act as placeholders that report generation fills with data. Insert an Infrared Image before inserting related pictures or graphs in the same section.
Command |
Purpose |
|---|---|
Infrared Image |
Inserts an infrared-image placeholder at the cursor. This placeholder supplies the source data for other report elements in the section. |
Visual Image |
Inserts a visual-image report element for the visual image associated with the section's source infrared image. |
Profile |
Inserts a temperature-profile graph. The source infrared image must contain a line object. Additional profile placeholders use the subsequent line objects. |
Histogram |
Inserts a histogram. The source infrared image must contain an area object. Additional histogram placeholders use the subsequent area objects. |
All Pictures |
Opens a dialog containing all picture and graph types supported by IRT Cronista. |
Fields and Tables group
Use fields and tables to insert text and numeric data supplied by IRT Cronista. In a template, report generation replaces these elements with values from each source infrared image.
Command |
Purpose |
|---|---|
Table > Image Info |
Inserts a configurable table of infrared-image properties. |
Table > Analysis Info |
Inserts a configurable table of measurement-object results, such as spot temperatures. |
Table > Notations |
Inserts a configurable table of image notations from the notations set stored in the document. |
Field or Field > Insert Field |
Inserts a field linked to image or analysis data. If the cursor is already in a report field, the command opens its settings. |
Field > Insert Document Property Field |
Inserts a field that displays a document property and is not linked to one infrared image. |
Summary Table or Summary Table > Insert |
Inserts a table with one row for each reported infrared image. If the cursor is already in a summary table, the command opens its settings. |
Summary Table > Update |
Refreshes the values in the selected summary table after report data changes. |
Edit |
Opens the settings for the selected report picture, graph, field, or table. |
Delete |
Deletes the selected report field or table. For a populated picture or graph, the first use clears its data; use the command again to delete the empty placeholder. |
