Two-State Readout

Readout Signal Levels

two calibrated numbers

A two-state readout starts with exact low and high signal levels. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

Prepared zero has a low signal

The calibrated zero signal is 2, below the threshold 5.

Prepared one has a high signal

The calibrated one signal is 8, above the same threshold 5.
