Command line call

Call parameters
A parameter can be specified for the command line call of the "SetBrightness" program.
Note
In contrast to the graphical interface, the minimum value is set to 0% in command line mode.
In this case, the backlighting is switched off. By pressing an input device, for example, a
touch screen or keyboard, the display is switched on again with 100% brightness value. The
first input event, for example, a mouse click, is discarded in this case to avoid an
unintentional incorrect operation.

{
};
process.Start();
