The original factory calibration values were provided on a paper with the shipped unit. If you have lost this information,
please contact Unihedron to have the information emailed.
7.7 Report Interval tab
The Report Interval tab is used to show and set the report interval information for the selected SQM. Report interval
settings are used to control the SQM to send readings out at a regular rate (in seconds) and only if darker than a specified
threshold value. See section 8.7 on page 86 for more information about “Interval reporting”.

Use the “R” button to temporarily set the value in to RAM for experimentation. The new value will be used instantly.
The RAM value is set to the EEPROM value on power-up.
Use the “E/R” button to set the value in to EEPROM and RAM. The new value will be used instantly and also after
power up.
Report interval is measured in seconds (i.e. 300 = 5 minutes).
Report threshold is measured in Magnitudes per square arcsecond (mpsas), a larger positive value is darker.
7.7.1 Continuous reports
The Continuous reports section enables special features related to reporting through an optionally installed I2C interface
except for the Ideal crossover function selection.
Reporting enabled : The readings are sent to the I2C adapter as they are computed.
Reporting compressed : High speed reporting is sent out in a compressed format.
Report un-averaged : Send only the unaveraged readings to the I2C device.
LED blink accessory : Enables the LED on the DL models to blink each time a reading is gathered.
Ideal crossover firmware : See Theory of operation section 3.1 for full details.
7.8 Firmware tab
In a case where new firmware is supplied by Unihedron to correct bugs or add features, use this tab to select and load
firmware in to the SQM-LU-DL.
