Model: ambient + (initial − ambient) × exp(−time ÷ time constant). Six evenly spaced samples are rounded to two decimal places.

Last run: 80 °C initial; 20 °C ambient; 4 min time constant; 10 min duration.

Temperature over time, from 24.93 to 80.00 °C across 0.00 to 10.00 minutes. Displayed values are in the table below.
