  1. Positive AUC = Mean area under the curve of positive half-cycles.
  2. Negative AUC = Mean area under the curve of negative half-cycles.
  3. Running Ave Temp: 60 sec = Mean temperature across first 60 seconds of trial.
  4. Running Ave Temp: 120 sec = Mean temperature across entire 120 seconds of trial.
