Description
Return width = upperCoordinate-lowerCoordinate and midpoint = lowerCoordinate/2+upperCoordinate/2.
Environmental measurements can require background subtraction, recovery correction, calibration or a common reference basis. Corrected values can be signed; a numerical correction is separate from detection, analytical validity and health interpretation.
Return width = upperCoordinate-lowerCoordinate and midpoint = lowerCoordinate/2+upperCoordinate/2.
When to use this tool
Use Exposure Location Precision Width when checking a supplied measurement correction, comparison or calibration term.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter lowerCoordinate, upperCoordinate. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read width, midpoint. Use the output convention below.
Require upperCoordinate >= lowerCoordinate. Return width = upperCoordinate-lowerCoordinate and midpoint = lowerCoordinate/2+upperCoordinate/2. Coordinates must describe one ordered linear axis in a common unit.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |

| lowerCoordinate | Lower Coordinate | Required. Finite number. |
| upperCoordinate | Upper Coordinate | Required. Finite number. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| width | Width | Required. Finite number. |
| midpoint | Midpoint | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- This does not handle longitude wrap, spherical distance, multi-axis uncertainty or probabilistic location error. The midpoint is an arithmetic coordinate, not a verified exposure location.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use the relevant analytical method, quality-control records and uncertainty model before classifying a corrected measurement.
