bbs contrast

Description Calculate and display the contrast ratio as follows:

BBS: On Power=<On Power> Watts
BBS: Off Power=<Off Power> Watts
BBS: Contrast Ratio=<Contrast Ratio>%

The "On" exposure head power is calculated by turning all pixels on in blocks of sixteen pixels ( the last block may only have eight pixels ) and the "Off" exposure head power is calculated by turning all pixels off.

The contrast ratio is the ratio of the "Off" exposure head power to the "On" exposure head power.

Notes Thermal 1.0 / 1.7x equivalents:
  • The monitor command bbs contrast does not have an equivalent.

Thermal 2 equivalents:
  • The monitor command bbs contrast is equivalent to bbs contrast.
