Deeper Acceptance Boundary Scans

Exposure Capacity Boundary Scan

time and capture gates

A scheduled readout can fail by time, by capture count, or by both. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

highlighted = computed this step

The first exposure row fits both limits

4 fields at 5 s take 20 s and produce 12 captures. Both limits pass, so acceptance is 1.

More fields can fail the time limit

The second row still has only 15 captures, but total exposure time is 25 s. The time gate is 0 and acceptance is 0.

More channels can fail the capture limit

The third row keeps total time at 20 s, but 20 captures exceed the capture limit. Acceptance is 0.
