Wow, that's a pretty clever solution MonJava!
Sorry I couldn't reply sooner, I went out of town as the update was in review. Speaking of - there's now a preference setting for graphing control curves in the analyzer. You can choose a custom height to keep them locked to the bottom, and out of the way of temp curves. Also, you'll be able to enter crack times for a short period of time after the roast stops. To anyone using this - if you find you need more time, just let me know and I'll increase the value.
I find the trick proposed by MonJava really interesting. Especially, since I've talked to several folks about the concept of a warm-up and cool-down phase lately, and have given some thought as to how it would look in the app. This isn't something that I, personally, would be interested in tracking when I roast, so I'm at a bit of a disadvantage idea-wise compared to the folks who would. I did definitely recognize the need to be a able to more easily compare and contrast temps - both before and during a roast - so there's a lot of new stuff in the Analyzer that helps out in that area (labels, targeting mode, etc.), but I'd be interested in exploring the concept of a warm-up/cool-down phase as well.
Any ideas, please let me know.
