Atomic Spectra Source-Chain Boundary Scans

Calibration Scale Channel Three-Row Scan

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.

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.
