- <h1>The Logging View</h1>
- <p>The appearance of the logging view depends on how the selected
- roaster was configured, but there are a few main areas where
- different interface items are located.</p>
-
- <img src="logging.png"/>
-
- <p>The window title will change to reflect a loaded target roast
- profile and can provide the name of the coffee being roasted.</p>
-
- <p>The menu bar provides access to a number of operations such
- as saving or loading data on disk, entering new batch information,
- clearing recorded data, changing how data is displayed, and more.
- Note that on a Mac the menu bar will be at the top of the screen
- and not within the window as is normal on that platform.</p>
-
- <p>Continuing down the window is the indicator panel. This is
- where current temperature indicators, rate of change information,
- and timers will be displayed. The number, type, and order of
- indicators depends on the roaster configuration. There are
- splitter handles between each indicator which can be used to
- control the width of each indicator. The last indicator should
- always be the batch timer. If you don't see this, there should
- be a splitter handle to the right of the last visible indicator
- which can be dragged left to reveal additional indicators. A
- splitter handle at the bottom can be used to control the height
- of all indicators.</p>
-
- <p>Next is a row of buttons. At minimum this will include buttons
- for starting and stopping the batch, but a number of other
- controls for inserting notes in the log can also be configured
- to appear here. Under these buttons is another splitter handle
- that can be used to control the height of to table and graph
- below.</p>
-
- <p>Below this and on the left is a table view showing times,
- temperatures, and notes for both a target profile if one is
- loaded and the current batch if one is being recorded.</p>
-
- <p>To the right of the table view is a graph showing both
- loaded target profiles, if any, and current batch data.</p>
-
- <h2>Buttons</h2>
-
- <h3>Start Batch</h3>
- <p>This button starts recording roasting data. If the New Batch
- or New Sample Batch windows were used, the roasting data can be
- associated with a batch in the database. Clicking this will
- also start the batch timer from 00:00, start any other timers
- that have been configured to start from the start of the batch,
- and create any annotations that have been configured for entry
- at the start of the batch if any.</p>
-
- <h3>Stop Batch</h3>
- <p>This button stops the batch timer, stops recording roasting
- data, and if the New Batch or New Sample Batch windows were
- used, the window with data associated with the finished batch
- will be raised.</p>
-
- <h3>Additional Buttons</h3>
- <p>Additional buttons and controls will appear if these have
- been configured.</p>
-
- <h2>The File Menu</h2>
-
- <img src="loggingfile.png" />
-
- <h3>Open...</h3>
- <p>This can be used to load roasting data previously saved to
- disk. This is mainly useful when receiving roasting data that
- has been shared from another roaster. In normal use it is much
- better to use information saved to the database instead of
- managing files manually.</p>
-
- <h3>Save...</h3>
- <p>This can be used to save roasting data to disk. This is
- mainly useful to share roasting data with another person using
- Typica. For other uses it is much better to use the New Batch
- and New Sample Batch windows to have roasting data saved to the
- database.</p>
-
- <h3>Print...</h3>
- <p>This can be used to print roasting data. The print window
- will appear, allowing the information printed to be
- customized.</p>
-
- <h3>Export CSV...</h3>
- <p>This can be used to export roasting data as a CSV file which
- can be opened in all popular spreadsheet applications or used
- with a wide variety of other tools. If this is something that
- you frequently require, it may be a good idea to reach out to
- the author with your use case and see if there is a way to do
- what you want within Typica or if Typica should be extended to
- support your use case.</p>
-
- <h3>Export XHTML+SVG</h3>
- <p>This can be used to produce the same information that can be
- printed, but produces that as an XHTML+SVG document.</p>
-
- <h3>Quit</h3>
- <p>On some platforms this might be called Exit and on the Mac
- this will be moved under the Typica menu. It is used to quit
- Typica.</p>
-
- <h2>The Batch Menu</h2>
-
- <img src="loggingbatch.png" />
-
- <h3>New Batch...</h3>
- <p>This is the preferred way to enter the details of a
- production roast such that recorded roasting data can be
- associated with a batch and green coffee inventory can be
- adjusted. Selecting this will open the New Batch window.</p>
-
- <h3>New Sample Batch...</h3>
- <p>When roasting a green coffee not in inventory such as
- pre-purchase samples, you can use this menu item to open the
- New Sample Batch window and associate the roasting data with
- additional information about the coffee.</p>
-
- <h3>Load Additional Profiles...</h3>
- <p>If you do not have a target roast profile for the roasted
- coffee item you are producing but have a batch that you would
- like to have available for reference previously saved in the
- database, you can use this menu item to load that information
- as a target roast profile.</p>
-
- <h2>The Log Menu</h2>
-
- <img src="logginglog.png" />
-
- <h3>Display Celsius</h3>
- <p>This menu item can be used to change displayed temperature
- measurements to Celsius.</p>
-
- <h3>Display Fahrenheit</h3>
- <p>This menu item can be used to change displayed temperature
- measurements to Fahrenheit.</p>
-
- <h3>New Sample Parameters</h3>
- <p>If a Counting Button has been configured, this menu item
- will be available to change the annotation text or reset the
- number used in annotations when that button is activated.</p>
-
- <h3>Clear Log</h3>
- <p>This menu item removes all information currently visible in
- the table and graph views.</p>
-
- <h3>Millisecond View</h3>
- <h3>1 Second View</h3>
- <h3>5 Second View</h3>
- <h3>10 Second View</h3>
- <h3>15 Second View</h3>
- <h3>30 Second View</h3>
- <h3>1 Minute View</h3>
-
- <p>These items affect the table view. The millisecond view will
- show every measurement in the table while the other views will
- limit the entries shown to one per indicated interval with the
- exception of times associated with an annotation which will
- always be shown regardless of the selected view.</p>
-
- <h3>Manual Entry</h3>
- <p>This can be used for entering roasting data collected when
- not connected to a roaster. The utility of this feature is
- somewhat limited and generally not worth using.</p>
-
- <h2> The Graph Menu</h2>
-
- <img src="logginggraph.png" />
-
- <h3>Reset Translation</h3>
- <p>If the roaster in use has been configured to use roast
- profile translation, this item can be used to reset any
- currently applied translation transformation in the graph. The
- following video contains more information about the roast
- profile translation feature and why you might want to use it.</p>
