the backlights.
The method by which the backlight intensity is adjusted. Auto mode adjusts the
light levels using a threshold and a light intensity sensor. Manual mode allows
the user to set the backlight intensity manually.
Backlight Intensity can be controlled when Backlight Control Mode is Manual. In
Auto mode, Backlight Intensity is read only.
Ambient Light is the light currently in the immediate area of the GX40
Ambient Threshold is the light intensity below which the backlights go to the Low
Intensity setting.
Low Intensity is the backlight level (as a percent of maximum) the light will go to
when the ambient light falls below the Ambient Threshold. There is a built-in 3
minute delay before the low intensity takes effect. This keeps the backlight from
flashing between low and high intensity if the ambient light is hovering near the
threshold value.
