```
public void calculate()
```
    Calculates the approximate half-rise time used for crude estimation of thermal diffusivity.
    This uses the runningAverage method by applying the default reduction factor of . The calculation is based on finding the approximate value corresponding to the half-maximum of the temperature. The latter is calculated using the running average curve. The index corresponding to the closest temperature value available for that curve is used to retrieve the half-rise time (which also has the same index). If this fails, i.e. the associated index is less than 1, this will print out a warning message and still assign a value to the half-time variable equal to the acquisition time divided by a fail-safe factor 10.0.
