9. The instrument will ramp to a new setpoint. Repeat step 7 for the newly calculated

photodiode current at this setpoint.

10. Wait for the 7-segment display to exit the calibration mode. Once the self-calibration is

completed, the calibration constants will be stored to the non-volatile memory and the
display will return to its previous state.
