Report Template
You can select from existing system templates, import or create more templates for reports.
All templates including system and customized ones are stored in Template Library.
System Page Templates
System templates includes two formats: ART templates and DOCX/DOTX templates.
- ART Template
-
When using this type of template to generate a report, it supports previewing and editing the content directly within the client software. When exporting, selecting the ODT format allows further opening and modification using software such as Microsoft Word that supports this format.
- DOCX/DOTX Templates
-
Reports generated using this type of template do not support in-client editing. After adding images to be analyzed in the client, the report is directly exported as a DOCX format document. It can be opened and modified using software such as Microsoft Word that supports this format.
This type of template can be created using ReportMate tool. For instructions on how to use the tool, refer to Use Report Template Tool to Create DOCX/DOTX Template.
There are multiple system ART page templates for thermal and acoustic analysis. You can see them in template selecting page: Thermal x2 Batch, Thermal x2 Comparison, Image Enlarged, and Thermal and Visual, LD Acoustic, and PD Acoustic.
-
The first two page templates (Thermal x2 Batch and Thermal x2 Comparison), containing 2 thermal images each, work better with 2-image groups.
-
Thermal and Visual has one thermal image. It works better with a single image.
-
Image Enlarged has no thermal image. A thermal image linking to this page template will be converted into a non-radiometric one.
-
LD Acoustic is suitable for gas leak acoustic image analysis. It has one acoustic image and corresponding information such as image details, camera specifications, leak details, and estimated leak lost.
-
PD Acoustic is suitable for partial discharge acoustic image analysis. It has one acoustic image and corresponding information such as image details, camera specifications, and PD type possibilities.
