Marking events during roasting

The Roasting Intelligence (RI) allows you to mark events and add comments during roasting.

While roasting, you can click anywhere on the chart to open the Comment box:

The Time/Temperature stops at the moment you open the comment box and can be manually revised if needed.
If Gas/Airflow pre-filling is enabled, you will find the upcoming change entered in the respective field. Only enter numerical values under Gas and Airflow so a graph can be generated within the online platform C-sar.
To mark the Color change and First crack, hit the respective button.
To enter a personal note, use the text field at the bottom and click Text comment.
You can modify the vertical layout of the Reference box and Readouts, which enables you to manage how many comments are displayed at one time.

The timestamps show the time when the window is opened and do not take the position of the mouse into account. If you would like to set the comment at an earlier time, you can then update the time in the comment modal.

By clicking on theComments button on the bottom left side of the screen, and you can open the Comments sidebar:

By clicking on theDeleteicon, you can delete the comment.
By clicking on theEdit icon, you can revise the comment.
