Logger in single-run mode:
• When starting the next profile run, the data held in the logger will be deleted
automatically (this is prevented if the data has not yet been downloaded), so
there is no need to reset the logger unless you wish to change the data-collection
parameters.
For both multiple- and single-run modes:
• To start a new run with different data-collection parameters, reset the
logger – either using Insight (p. 46), or, for the factory default parameters, by
hardware reset (p. 26). Using a hardware reset in multiple-run mode will not
delete any existing profile-run data from the logger memory.
Preparing the Data for Analysis
For full details of Insight's powerful analysis capabilities, see the online Help
system: on Insight's menu bar, select Help > Contents > Data Analysis. Before
starting full analysis of the downloaded data, it may be advisable to:
• Apply a process file (see p. 58).
• Specify the oven start position in the data.
• Apply thermocouple and/or logger correction factors to the data.
• Record any notes specific to the profile run.
Specifying Oven Start
If you have not applied a process file to the data during download (see above),
or if the process file you applied did not specify that the oven start position
be adjusted, you may want to adjust the oven start position now: from the
menu bar, select Process > Adjust Oven Start, or use the right-click menu.
This can be valuable as it permits different paqfiles, i.e. data from different
temperature profile runs, to be compared with each other. If you do not wish
to adjust the oven start at this point, you may still do so at any time
subsequently.

Thermocouple and Logger Correction Factors
In Oven Tracker Professional it is possible to increase accuracy by using
calibration data for the logger and thermocouples to establish correction
factors. If correction factors are known for a range of temperature values, and
