Symbol Contrast

Usage:
Lets the user know if contrast settings are less than acceptable.
Definition:
All the pixels that fall within the area of the test symbol, including its required zone, will be sorted by their reflectance values to select the darkest 10% and the lightest 10% of the pixels. The arithmetic mean of the darkest and the lightest pixels is calculated and the difference of the two means is the Symbol Contrast.
(ANSI) Symbol Contrast grading is defined this way:
 
A (4.0) if SC > 70%
C (2.0) if SC > 40%
F (0.0) if SC > 20%
 
B (3.0) if SC > 55%
D (1.0) if SC > 20%
 
If enabled, the symbol contrast is appended to the symbol data according to the ISO/IEC 16022 Symbol Quality Output Mode setting.
