We present an alternative to the classical SQUID magnetometric measurements for the First-Order Reversal Curve (FORC) diagram approach by employing differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) experiments. After discussing the main results, the advantages and limitations of the magnetometric FORCs, we introduce the calorimetric method. We argue that, while the results are comparable to those obtained via magnetometry, the calorimetric method not only significantly simplifies the required mathematical computations but also detects subtle or overlapping phase transitions that might be hard to distinguish magnetically. The methodology is illustrated through both experimental data and mean-field simulations.
