Using one of the two baseline (default) profiles will provide a good starting point for
profile development. The reflow graph provides an excellent tool for monitoring
profile parameters and fine tuning or perfecting the profile development process.
When adjusting profile parameters “on-the-fly”, all changes are reflected immediately
on the profile development screen and graph.
