The Mason also shows up the changes, well mine does...... all very clearly....
Normal running midway/12 o'clock/50%..... ambient less than 10C.... 12:30/55%ish Hill climbs.... 1pm/60% etc....
Not wishing to hijack the thread just adding my experiences with a Mason.... keep up the good work

Initially, we started taking data samples base on distance (km). This gave us an overall picture of what was happening. The troughs are where it was parked.
Full data set
The system started to fall into a regular predictable pattern, so what we did was to fine tune the sample frequency so that we could see what was happening in specific areas such as the 'warm up' period and the normal running period (after warm up)
The system settles down when the head
OUTPUT[ - top hose is at 90C and the heater
return 65C (the heater supply is ALWAYS a few degrees less than the return.
There are small anomalies where the system deviates from a rigid pattern, and these happen when there is a change in ambient temperature, and surprisingly, humidity. Hill climbs also show up very clearly.
The tests will continue until a definitive statement can be made as to precisely which element is the 'controler.
The TM-2 data being shared by members on this thread seem to be falling into the same ranges as the graph - very pleasing.
Localised data set
