Calibration Scale Channel Three-Row Scan

With the same matched line, three calibration scales move the displayed detector channel.

With the same matched line, three calibration scales move the displayed detector channel. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

Scale changes the detector channel

The photon energy stays 5 joules and the offset stays 1 channel. Scale 1 maps the line to channel 6.

channel=1⋅5+1=5+1=6channel=1\cdot 5 + 1=5 + 1=6

Scale changes the detector channel

The photon energy stays 5 joules and the offset stays 1 channel. Scale 2 maps the line to channel 11.

channel=2⋅5+1=10+1=11channel=2\cdot 5 + 1=10 + 1=11

Scale changes the detector channel

The photon energy stays 5 joules and the offset stays 1 channel. Scale 3 maps the line to channel 16.
