I LOVE my Bullet and the updated software, but I would like to point out a few problems that I hope you will quickly fix.
Specifically, I just realized that in the new software, the chart display does not allow you to accurately figure out the time of events, setting changes, etc. There are three reasons for this. One is that there are no grid lines that extend up from the time markers on the X axis. So when you see a dip or spike in the graph, you can only guess at the time of this event.
Additionally, and more importantly, the “Control Settings” bars at the bottom of the chart DO NOT sync up with and correspond to the time markers on the chart’s X axis. As you can see from the screen shot below, the scale is different. The Control Settings bars are always LONGER than the time of the roast as indicated by the time markers on the chart’s X axis. On the screenshot below, I have highlighted this discrepancy in yellow. Because of this discrepancy, you cannot use the time markers on the X axis to gauge when the settings were changed.
Additionally, it would be nice if the chart displayed the time of data it is reporting. For example, on the chart above, I have used the mouse pointer to select specific points on the chart. The boxes in the top right corner show that at these points the ROR was 6.4 and the Bean Temp. was 172.7 degrees. But it is impossible to accurately determine the time at which these readings were taken. There is a fourth box in the top-right corner for “Exit Temp” - and it is my understanding that virtually no one uses this reading since you need to install an extra sensor to measure exit temperature. Why not use this box to report the specific time of the data readings being reported in the other boxes? Makes more sense, and would be MUCH more useful to most roasters.
Finally, I wanted to point out that when you attempt to select a point on the chart using the mouse pointer, the point selected is never where you place the mouse pointer. In the chart above, I have highlighted in orange the difference between where you place the mouse pointer and the point on the chart actually selected. This issue appears (as far as I can tell) to be related to the above-described difference in scale between the time markers on the X axis and the “Control Settings” bars. Specifically, as shown and highlighted in orange on the screen shot below, the amount of space between where you place the mouse pointer and the data points selected is the same as the amount of space between the end of the roast on the chart and the end of “Control Settings” bars.
Again, I really love what you are doing with this software. I hope that you can fix these bugs soon.
