I must say I originally speculated the optical programming of the 371D to be a bit gimmicky but after using it a dozen or so times it’s actually pretty cool.
Being able to configure Anduril’s dozen options all at once would be very cool. You could even supply a link to newbs with an entire config they cant figure out. From a MFG side they also used it to throttle a few features back that would potentially lead to customer dissatisfaction but could still be overriden by the user by special means.
I’ve probably done it 15-20 times and as far as I could tell it accepted the settings every time. I would probably not want this to be the only way to configure it but if it was an additional way to configure and maybe a few select settings reserved as the “only” way to get to them that would be fine.
Just my .02
