8.3.2 Light calibration command
Calibration of the SQM-LU is done at the factory in a controlled light and temperature environment.
Executing the Light calibration command “
zcalAx
” arms the light calibration mode.
A calibrated light source of approximately 13.5fc is supplied to the sensor.
The format of the response is shown in table 8.6:
