AVG F1-F3 Cycles between Slow, Medium, or Fast numerical averaging of
readings that are within a certain percentage of each other.
λ 䉱 Wnnnn Increments the calibration wavelength in use.
λ 䉲 Wnnnn Decrements the calibration wavelength in use.
None Turns the meter on/off.
ATTN A0, A1 Sets the responsivity value for either:
1) detector alone, or
2) detector and OD3 optical attenuator.
BKLT K0, K1, K2 Cycles the display backlight brightness between Off, Medium,
or High.
BEEP B0, B1 Turns the variable frequency beeper on/off.
