Disclosed herein is a method where a thermography device collects raw data that is forwarded to a server wherein the server runs the raw data through a database of signature parameters and generates a report. After the report is generated, the server notifies a technician that a report has been created and makes the report available online for the technician to login and retrieve. The separation of the measurement system and the analysis system allows some protection of trade secrets which are contained within the analysis software.
