Cure Factor%. The cure factor % is based on the time a sensor temperature was above
a temperature reference line divided by the time you entered in the Times Above Temp
(TAT) section of the Temp Ref Lines dialog box. This equation gets more complicated
as you add more temperature reference lines. The graph illustrates the times used
(shaded area) to sum the total curing time each temperature threshold contributes.
The following equation is used when all three temperature reference lines are used:
Cure Factor % = 100 * ( HItime/HItat + (MEDtime – HItime) /MEDtat + (LOtime – MEDtime)/LOtat )
The same basic equation is used when there are only two (any two) temperature
reference lines used:
Cure Factor % = 100 * ( HItime/HItat + (MEDtime – HItime) /MEDtat )
or
Cure Factor % = 100 * ( MEDtime/MEDtat + (LOtime – MEDtime) /LOtat )
or
Cure Factor % = 100 * ( HItime/HItat + (LOtime – HItime) /LOtat )
Finally, if only one temperature reference line is used, the equation is simply:
Cure Factor % = 100 * time/tat (which ever temp ref line you are using)\
