Chapter 2 Configuring The Validator

Overall Grade Calculations

The validator follows the specified algorithm defined in the ANSI X3.182 specification for determining the Overall Grade based on an average. Although it is not defined, the validator truncates the result of all analysis parameters averages for a slightly stricter grading.

A side effect of the ANSI specified algorithm is that the Overall Grade may be lower than any of the averaged analysis parameters. This occurs because the Overall Grade is based on the lowest grade on any scan converted to a single digit grade (A to F, 4 to 0) which is then averaged. This usually occurs when a single analysis parameter has a value just above or just below the Overall Grade.

Example

The Decodeability value of 51 displays as B, but the Overall Grade displays as C.

The bar code was scanned five times: three scans had values of 0.49 (grade C) and two scans had values of 0.54 (grade B).

The Decodeability grading calculation is: (3 x 0.49) + (2 x 0.54) = 2.55

2.55 ÷ 5 = 0.51 (grade B)

The Overall Grade calculation is: (3 x 2.0) + (2 x 3.0) = 12

12 ÷ 5 = 2.4 (grade C)

Also, with certain combinations of multiple analysis parameters and possibly the truncation used on the analysis parameter’s average, the Overall Grade may be higher than an individual analysis parameter grade.

Example

The Decodeability value of 48 displays as C, but the Overall Grade displays as B.

The bar code was scanned five times: four scans had values of 0.51 (grade B) and one scan had a value of 0.40 (grade C).

The Decodeability grading calculation is: (4 x 0.51) + (1 x 0.40) = 2.44

2.44 ÷ 5 = 48.8 (grade C)

The Overall Grade calculation is: (4 x 3.0) + (1 x 2.0) = 14

14 ÷ 5 = 2.8 (grade B)
