I know what all this means but how could I tell where 30% is on the screen controls and where halfway on the contrast control is?
They are asking to set mechanically at a certain fraction of full travel (which should be somewhat less than a full circle max). So, just try the full mechanical range to see how far the control can turn and then set it an estimated halfway or 30% of the way as instructed. These are just starting points to get you somewhere with visible light on the screen.
