About the program

GRAYESS IRT Cronista brings image organization, thermal analysis, and flexible reporting together in one application. Turn infrared inspection data into clear findings and professional reports, from routine equipment inspections and building surveys to detailed thermal investigations. Keep your images, observations, and analysis connected throughout the workflow to spend less time preparing results and more time interpreting them.

Use IRT Cronista to:

§Create reports that tell the whole story. Bring infrared and visual images, measurements, graphs, notations, asset information, and formula results into a fully customizable report. Generate reports for one image, a selection, or an entire folder using supplied or custom templates. Reusable templates reduce repetitive work and give recurring inspection reports a consistent structure and appearance.

§Keep inspection information together. Organize images by inspection, link infrared images to visual images, and record observations using comments and structured notations. Keeping this information with the images makes it available for analysis and reporting without repeatedly entering the same details.

§Understand thermal conditions and track changes. Measure temperatures, locate hot and cold spots, and examine patterns with profiles and histograms. Compare images side by side, use infrared and visual image fusion to relate findings to visible features, and follow temperature changes with trends to support condition assessments and maintenance decisions.

Microsoft Word integration gives you the flexibility to adapt report layouts, formatting, branding, and additional content to your needs. Reports remain editable, so you can refine the presentation and add conclusions or recommendations before sharing the results.

About this manual

Manual revision: 7.8.70

This manual explains how to install, configure, and use IRT Cronista. It guides new users through the main workflow and provides reference information for experienced thermographers, administrators, and report-template authors.

Use the table of contents to follow the manual from installation through reporting, or open an individual topic when you need instructions for a specific task. The manual contains the following main sections:

1.Installation and getting started. Review the license agreement and system requirements, install and activate the software, compare IRT Cronista editions, select the language and temperature unit, learn the difference between Organizer and Analyzer modes, and follow a guided tour of the main workflow.

2.Organizing images. Learn how to view images and other files, arrange the workspace, navigate the folder structure, and create, copy, move, rename, and delete files and folders. This section also explains how to link visual images to infrared images and group related images into stacks.

3.Temperature scale and palettes. Adjust how temperatures are mapped to colors, select a temperature range and palette, use isotherms, share range and palette settings within a folder, change these settings for selected images, and change the temperature unit.

4.Notations. Create structured information for images, define notations sets, use shared or briefcase sets, assign entries to images, configure folder notations, and work with assets.

5.Thermographic analysis. Learn what Analyzer mode can do and how its workspace is organized. The section covers image comparison and display adjustments, infrared and visual image fusion, measurement objects and parameters, labels and selection tools, temperature measurements, profiles, histograms, dew-point analysis, trends, and analysis templates.

6.Reports. Generate and customize reports, select and manage templates, edit generated reports, create reports manually, use the Thermo Reports tab, configure report settings, and use notations, document properties, formulas, and macros in templates. This section also covers report templates for image stacks and troubleshooting.

7.Image processing and output. Change properties for multiple images, play thermal video, print images and other data, export infrared images, stitch overlapping images, and enhance image resolution.

The final reference topics list keyboard shortcuts and identify third-party libraries used by the software.
