Thanks for the reply.  If you would please stay with me with this, I 
still don't quite get it.  After I select Backlight in the Identity 
Control window, it appears I have to select Measured as the Luminance 
Mode in order to have the option to put in my chosen White Luminance 
Value.  After I do this, I again confirm Backlight choice and procede 
with the calibration process, hoping to be able to adjust the monitor 
Luminance control while it is calibrating.  I do not see 
the "horizontal bar" you refer to.  Am I doing something wrong in my 
workflow to not see it or is there a technical glitch?
Thanks,
Matthew Kraus
