Standards-based grading is a software feature key available for select DataMan fixed-mount barcode readers and In-Sight series vision systems to grade the quality of 1D and 2D codes. SBG uses the same verification grading algorithms, calibration process, and software user interface as DataMan verifiers but does not include the fixed angle lighting required in the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) guidelines. SBG is ideal to use when existing barcode quality software, such as process control metrics (PCM), is not reliable enough, and ISO compliance is not required or possible.
