RT provides a unique way of overcoming this limitation however The Indium SMART lets you specify the precise value at which the LED first produces visible output on your particular flashlight This option is accessible from the Options menu from the main window Set On Point x This value calibrates the PYM value which corresponde to the lowest visible output level This defaults to a high value to account for varations between flashlights You may change the value below to calibrate it to pour particular flashlight This will mean that fades seem smoother and the lower brightness levels are more defined eoo g Default Ok Cancel There are two ways to find this value the easiest is with the calibration tool that will soon be available from AngusNoble com and the second 1s to vary the on point while checking the LED output when the brightness level is set to 1 not 1 2005 AngusNoble com
