Chip Schedules Attach Physics to Readout

Exposure Reads Conditioned Chip

time and captures

Optical captures are a scheduled physical readout after control. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

The exposure schedule has checked time

There are 4 fields at dwell time 5 s, so exposure time is 20 s.

Channels multiply the scheduled captures

The same 4 fields through 3 channels produce 12 captures.
