right-click anywhere inside the data window for the analysis.

vides a minute-by-minute temperature record of the profile in the follow-
ing format:

where X = time in the profile (minutes)

Y = actual temperature as recorded by the CMRV probe (°C)
Z = target temperature required by the cooling profile (°C)

stress), just configure an analysis for the data (see chapters on Analyses)
and right-click anywhere inside the data window for the analysis. Then
click the Export Time Temp Data popup menu option.
