Detector addresses become scheduled readout passes only after channel batching is exact. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

highlighted = computed this step

Rows and columns set address count

The rendered grid has 4 rows and 5 columns, so the address count is 20.

Channel batches and repeats are separate factors

Each row divides addresses by active channels before multiplying by repeat reads. The scheduled-pass column is not a hand label.

A wide strip can have the same pass count

The strip row has 16 addresses and 4 channels, so it still needs 4 passes for one repeat.
