Reduce? power when laser button is pressed.

Is there any way to set the output power of the laser when the "laser" button is pressed on the keypad? I would like about 10 -15% power when I press the laser button so I can test my alignment with more accuracy than it currently has. Now it burns through the tape I use with just an instantaneous press.

So, your saying that I have to change the power on the control panel to 15% and it will reduce the laser test button's power? If so, I'll have to try it on monday when I get back to school.

Thank you for the usefull tip!
