Goal: Configure your RoastLogger chart display to show roasting events in either a minimal dot format or detailed label format based on your preference.

Prerequisites: You must have access to RoastLogger and be logged into your account.

Overview

RoastLogger gives you control over how roasting events are displayed on your charts. Whether you prefer a clean, uncluttered view or want to see all the details at a glance, we've got you covered with two distinct display options.

The Two Display Options

Event Dots: Perfect for roasters who like a clean, minimal chart experience. Events appear as small dots that you can hover over to see details, time, and temperature. This keeps your chart uncluttered while still providing access to all your event information.

Event Labels: Ideal for roasters who want to see all event information displayed directly on the chart at all times. This view shows event names, times, temperatures, and even displays the DTR% (Development Time Ratio) right on your chart.

How to Change Your Event Display

  1. Navigate to Settings In RoastLogger

  2. Look for the "Advanced settings" section and click to expand it.

  3. Scroll down to the "Reference roast event display" section.

  4. Choose Your Preference. You'll see two radio button options:

  • Draw event dots - Select this for the minimal, clean chart view

  • Draw event labels - Select this to see all event details displayed on the chart

Which Option Should I Choose?
