Autobrightness

The 

Autobrightness

 

table defines the brightness of the screen and the LEDs relative to ambient

light.  

The following is the method of calculating the brightness of the screen and the LEDs (all values

range between 0% and 100%): 

LCD brightness

           =   Autobrightness 

User led brightness

    =  Autobrightness  * User led master brightness * Led brightness

Shift light brightness  

=  Autobrightness  * Shift light master brightness

The automatic brightness is additionally controlled by a  

Configuration  

panel parameter named

Adaptation rate

. 

 This rate determines the maximum permitted brightness change per second.
