Image modes
The camera can capture thermal and visual images at the same time. In image mode, select which type of image to display on the screen.
The camera supports the following image modes:
Thermal MSX (Multi Spectral Dynamic Imaging): An infrared image where the edges of the objects are enhanced with visual image details.
Thermal: An infrared image.
Picture in picture: An infrared image frame is displayed on top of the visual image.
Digital camera: The visual image captured by the digital camera.
For the Thermal MSX, Thermal, and Picture in picture modes, all thermal and visual information is stored when an image is saved. This means that you can edit the image later, in the camera image library or in a Flir Thermography software, and select any of the image modes.
For the Digital camera image mode, a digital image with full resolution is stored when an image is saved. However, no thermal information is stored.
The following images are only sample images, they were not taken with an iXX camera.

Figure 3.
In the drop-down menu it is possible to:
Set the status of the current inspection point.
View the filenames of images saved for this inspection point.
Add comments for the current inspection point.
Open the inspection list, see section Inspection list.
Inspection list
The inspection list shows the progress of the inspection and analysis of the results from the inspection points.
The content of the inspection list is defined by the route file. The structure and name of the route comes from the file.
To see the progress and review the results, do the following:
Click on the current point indicator. This displays a drop-down menu.
Click on Inspection list. This displays a list with all inspection routes and their progress.
Select an item in the list to display the next level in the inspection route structure.
When there is a level with inspection points, their status is shown and if they have any images related to them.
To make changes to an inspection point, click on the inspection point in the list. This will show the live view for that inspection point.
Define the camera behavior settings
To override the Route settings and define the camera behavior settings select Settings > Routing > Inspection settings > Use Route settings = Off.
Camera behavior settings:
Auto next, the setting defines if the camera, after saving an image, automatically will set the default status and go to the next inspection point. If most of the inspection points will have the default status, you can activate the setting to save the inspection time. If you often want to set the status or add comments to the inspection points, it may be better to disable the setting.
Default status, a submenu used to select the status to be set when an image is saved. The options in the submenu come from the route file.
Require image, the setting defines if the image must be saved before it is possible to set the status of an inspection point.
Delete empty inspection points, the setting defines if all empty inspection points (no image and no status) will be removed from the inspection file when the inspection is finished.
Settings and parameters from the reference images
The camera can be configured to use the settings and parameters from the reference images. At each inspection point, the camera will automatically apply the same measurement tools, measurement parameters, temperature scale values, and color palette as in the reference image. To apply the settings and parameters from the reference images:
Select Settings > Routing > Inspection settings > Reference image.
To apply the parameter settings from each Reference image, select Apply parameters = On.
To select what parameters to apply, select Parameters.
