OVEN TRACKER XL2 Running a Temperature Profile 61
if a linear relationship is assumed between adjacent temperature values,
appropriate corrections can then be applied to all data within the calibrated
temperature range. Insight stores these correction factors in a ‘correction
factor file’, and correction is achieved simply by applying this file to the data.
For details of the creation and use of correction factor files, see the topic
‘Correction Factors’ in Insight’s online Help system.
Storing Notes and Printing a Report
To use Insight to store any notes or photos which you may wish to associate
with the profile-run data, select Edit > Notes.
To select options for printing a customized report of the profile-run data
and its analysis results, select File > Print Options.
Logger Defaults and Details
Defaults for several of the logger’s variables can be set using Insight. Select
Tools > Options > Logger (and click ‘Advanced’ for some features).
• Use of warning message if the logger is too hot.
• Ability to disable reset if the logger is too hot.
• Maximum temperature permitted if reset is to be allowed (default 45°C/
113°F).
• Frequency of the local electricity supply.
• Ability to download and display pre-trigger data (see below).
• Ability to download and display data for the logger’s internal temperature
which is gathered while it is logging.
On this Logger tab of the Global Options dialog you can also find the model
and identification number of the logger, and enter calibration information
and be warned when re-calibration is due.
For full details of using the dialog, see Insight’s online Help.
Pre-trigger Data
If a temperature trigger (see p. 49) is used to start data-logging, the logger also
records data before this point is reached. The most-recent c. 100 of these
data-points are retained by the logger. You can download this pre-trigger data
by setting a default (see above), and it will then form part of the temperature
profile, falling before the zero time point.
