There are 10 light source selections (L0   L9) each having a unique calibration correction factor 
(multiplier). See the Light Source list below. The multipliers for locations L0 through L6 are fixed 
for the lighting types listed. Locations L7 through L9 are extra locations that the user can 

customize (with a multiplier from 0.001 to 1.999). To change the light source (L.S.) selection:
