After about mid 2004 the DS1620 thermometer chip was the "E"
version that displays the temperature in steps of maybe 1 degree.
I've replaced a few of these chips with "C" versions that correct the
graphing problem and make the T-bolts work properly. Unless you
want to find and replace the surface mount chip yourself, make
sure any late model (after mid 2004) t-bolt has a "D" or a "C" chip,
not an "E".
The older T-bolts before ~2001 had Version 2.2 firmware which I
understand isn't as much of a problem as the Piezo brand oscillator
they had. Others have commented this oscillator isn't that great.
The new T-bolts have Trimble branded oscillators which are much
better.
