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 camera or
in a FLIR Thermography software.
• You can set the camera to display annotation tools when 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.

Adding a text comment table
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.
The camera ships with an example text comment table template. You can also create
your own templates. For more information, see section 15.3.1
Follow this procedure:
1. Open the image in the image archive.
2. Push the navigation pad to display the top toolbar.
3. On the top toolbar, select the
icon and push the navigation pad.
4. On the right toolbar, select the
icon and push the navigation pad. This displays a
table.
5. (Optional step.) On the top toolbar, do one of the following:
• To clear the content of the current table, select the
icon and push the naviga-
tion pad.
• To select another table template, select the
icon and push the navigation pad.
