The candela reading is based on the final calibration reading from within the v3.0.7 software--note I'm using a Spyder3Pro so I don't believe I can set the value via target.

Right, in Pro, the only way to get luminance control is to choose the Ambient Light option, and make sure your room light is at a level that will trigger the desired matching screen brightness. This then will put up a screen which includes a bar with an marker that you are supposed to adjust until your screen brightness is in between the tick marks on the bar. No numbers involved, as there are in Elite, just a target zone. As long as you don't choose Ambient Light mode, you'll be in Visual Mode, and whatever backlight level you've set will be used. You do have a backlight control, but it may be called "brightness" in your On Screen Controls...
