The spikes are due to an artifact in the way the Tbolt firmware reads the temperature sensor chip. It reads two registers and combine the values to get a high-res temp reading. But if the firmware accesses the registers in-between the time that the temp sensor chip updates them it can produce a bogus value. Typically this seems to happen on average of once every couple of hours.
Lady Heather flags each spike with a red line at the top of the plot window. Other error events such as holdovers, bad serial data, etc are flagged in the same way...
