      Setting a Reference Curve

      This manual explains how to set and maintain reference curves.

      Why use Reference Curves?

      A profile reference curve is your guideline during the roast and an important tool to maximize your consistency. It is key to set a reference curve for each of your profiles to guide you during roasting.

      Requirement: Profiles

      Before creating a reference curve you need to have an existing profile. We recommend creating a profile for all your recipes so you can set a reference curve for each profile.

      Note: Learn how to add, edit and archive roast profiles.

      Set the reference curve

      There are four ways to set a reference curve:

      In Roasting Intelligence (RI)

      1. Open the production bar by clicking the Production icon bottom left. 
      2. Select the roasted batch you would like to set as reference and click the dots (...).
