Cup Profile V0.5.0

Flavor is a psychological inner experience. In order to be represented or communicated, we must first transform it, or match it, to an expression or graph. This transformation gives us two convenient properties. First, we transform an inner personal experience into an appeal to somebody outside of ourselves, making possible its communication. Second, representing flavor with an expression also allows us to return to it in the future. This second property is what makes analysis possible. Without some kind of representation, analysis and communication would not be possible.
Analysis needs quantitative data but flavor is qualitative data. With a cupping graph, we try to rate the flavor by assigning a value from 1 to 10 to certain characteristic of a sensation, thus transforming the qualitative nature of flavor into quantitative data.
Using cupping graphs in conjunction with profile graphs allows us to match flavors with roasts. For example, if we were to make two different roast profiles, then we could compare their different cupping graphs and make adjustments according to decisions or goals.
Cupping forms can also load as backgrounds to be able compare 2 different roasts and their flavors. There is a check box in the cupping form to show the background (another file must first be loaded as background).
Designer is a new feature of version 0.4.0. Designer create prototype models to be used as guiding backgrounds during a roast. When a new design is started it has seven points on it.
Drag a point to move it. Right-click to access the Designer menu or to add a new point. This menu will appear.
Designer… Open the Designer Config to define a default design.
Set the default times, whether the point is used, curviness of the plot and Machine Playback option.
Background… loads a background to use as a reference in the design.
Add point adds a new point. Where the point is added is determined by the location of the original right-click.
Remove point removes a point that was right clicked over. To removed one of the original seven points use the Design Config(urator) dialog.

[...] As the Delta is usually a small number plotting it on the same vertical scale as the temperature would make for a line close to the X axis with little detail. Sensitivity and Filter can be set in the Config/Extras dialog. [...]
