[spectrum,qual] = MeasSpd([S],[meterType],[syncMode])

This routine splines the raw return values from the
meter to the wavelength sampling S vector, with
S = [startWl deltaWl nWlSamples].

The splining handles conversion of power units according to to the
wavelength sampling deltaWl. That is, power is converted into units of
power per wlband. This convention, used widely in PTB, means that you can
omit the multiplication by deltaWl when numerically integrating over
wavelength, but is a little counterintuitive.

If you later want to spline to other wl samplines, use SplineSpd to
maintain the PTB convention. Note that splining to 1 nm spacing puts the
units into power per nm, as at 1 nm spacing the two conventions are the
same.

If S is not passed, it is set to [380 5 81].

Tries to handle low light level case gracefully by returning
zero as the answer.

meterType == 1: PR650 (default)
meterType == 4: PR655
meterType == 5: PR670
meterType == 6: PR705

syncMode = ‘on’: Try to sync integration time with display, if meter supports it (default)
syncMode = ‘off’: Don’t try to sync, even if meter supports it.
