When it comes to things like this also try to remember that we live in a 10% world. Don't take that literally, but try to remember a little off is ok. Even the most sophisticated temp profiling systems are not 100% accurate. So if your temps are close and you're paying attention to your cure times chances are that you'll be ok. Also remember that most powders have a very high overbake tolerence, and won't be adversely affected if you leave it in a few extra minutes just to make sure it's all cured. Personally I use my IR temp probe as a semi-close guide so I know when to start my cure clock.
