Event Bar
Printer Friendly
There are three types of buttons in the button bar.
1 ON/OFF (green/red)
2 Roast landmarks (orange/brown)
3 Events (yellow)
The philosophy behind the Event button (yellow) is to record controlling steps made by the operator, so that the roast can be reproduced later in the future. The orange/brown buttons record the main landmarks achieved.
If a roast could be divided in cause and effect terms, the sequence (or recipe) of Events would be the cause of the profile, meanwhile the sequence of landmarks (First crack, etc) would be the effect. In other words, the yellow button records inputs made by the operator, meanwhile the orange/brown buttons record the outputs (landmarks) achieved by the roaster. The yellow button characterizes the input, meanwhile the orange/brown buttons the output.
- ON – Start recording temperatures
- CHARGE – Charging (loading) the roaster with green beans
- DRY END – Beans are dry
- FC START – First Crack Start
- FC END – First Crack End
- SC START – Second Crack Start
- SC END – Second Crack End
- DROP – Drop roasted beans into cooling tray
- OFF – Stop recording temperatures
- EVENT – Add a Power, Damper or Fan event
Setting a Power, Damper or Fan Event
First turn ON recording and CHARGE the roaster.
To add a power,damper or fan event do these four steps:
- Click on EVENT to add an event
- Select Power, Damper or Fan
- Select level (0 to 10)
- Update the event

Thanks. I added the comment to the body.
I never quite know when the FC ends. It would be nice if I could click the FC end button multiple times and have the software keep/log only the final event.

That is a pretty cool idea. I will pass on to the developers

Hello,
I am interested in using proportional control of gas thru the Fuji PXG Pid. As I understand your software it does not control the Pid, it logs events and temps and graphs these. Do you ever intend on actual controlling the roasting process? Can you point me in the direction for software that does control? Thanks for any help.
Hi.
Yes it does control but the control dialog only shows up when selecting Fuji PIDs.
Select Fuji PID in menu config device. Click OK.
Now a blue button will appear on top called “Control”. Click it and a control dialog appears.
