I wrote the temperature formula for the thermistors on the marker board in Dr. Jones' office. He told me to put the variables in a spreadsheet and calculate the temperature measured by the fixed thermistors using the voltage measurements and the formula. I should graph the temperature measured by the fixed thermistors and the temperature measured by the free thermistor, and then I should adjust the variables until the fixed thermistor's temperature curve matched the free thermistor's temperature curve. He advised first adjusting Tref so that the initial temperature of the fixed thermistor equaled the initial temperature of the free thermistor. Once the initial temperatures were equal, I would have a good chance of aligning the heating curves by adjusting B.

When I followed these instructions, three of the fixed thermistor curves matched the free thermistor curve well. The Front Left End curve was not as close to the free thermistor curve.
