or Australian), and also lists this symbol's size and allowed range of mea-

Descending bars, "T" representing Tracker (short) bars, and "H" represent-

descenders, as specified in Table 1.
In Screening modes, this parameter is reported as ""Tall" Bar Extensions
are too Short (or Long) (0.xxx in.)" when that is the case.
{6} lists the Average Extensions from the centerline of the Short tracks, as
specified in Table 1.
In Screening modes, this parameter is reported as "Short" Bar Extensions

{7} lists the Average Width of the bars, as specified in Table 1.
{8} lists the Average Space Width between bars, as specified in Table 1.
Note: For the Canadian and Australian 4-State symbologies only, any bar error
that has invoked their error correction triggers an additional PQA
parameter line:
"[F] < One or more Bars are in Error!" in a Full Report or
"One or more Bars are in Error!" in a Screening mode.
