FAQs

When does the Between Batch Protocol (BBP) data get recorded?

The Between Batch Protocol (BBP) is tracked from the moment the roast is stopped. You can view the beginning of your roast machine's cool-down phase directly from the Roasting Intelligence (RI) post-roast screen. 

If your set Profile has a Reference Curve with a recorded Between Batch Protocol (BBP), we also take the Reference Between Batch Protocol (BBP) curve data and display it in the background from your BBP window. 

💡 If you want to see more of your BBP from the Roasting Intelligence (RI) post-roast screen, use the zoom functionality.  Zooming will help you to focus on what you really want to see. 
The zoom functionality can also be used from the BB window's graph on the post-roast screen.

How can you reset the Between Batch Timer? 

You need to click the Restart button. This will reset the Between Batch Timer from 00:00. Any data collected during the Between Batch Protocol (BBP) will be erased once the restart button is clicked and confirmed.

Upon abortion of a roast not yet recognized as started (indicated by the display of the Stop button instead of the Force start button), RI will continue tracking your previous roast's BBP until another roast is effectively started.

If you abort a roast after the roast has been recognized as started (by our Automatic start detection, or it has been manually started via the clicking of the Force start button), RI restarts the recording of the BBP.

The BBP timer and the BBP window will reset to 00:00 and start recording from the moment you aborted the roast.
