Blank, drift, resolution, calibration, replicate, and control gates close together. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

highlighted = computed this step

Drift and resolution agree on the signal interval

Drift gives signal interval 14 through 16. Resolution gives 14 through 16.

The signal interval is converted by calibration

Signal 14 calibrates to 7; signal 16 calibrates to 8.

All gates support the accepted interval

The control passes, replicate half-range 2 passes, and the accepted calibrated interval is 7 through 8.
