Description
Return clockGap=massFlowAt-positionAt, correctedGap=clockGap-suppliedTransportLag, and sampleGap=correctedGap/samplePeriod.
Precision-agriculture measurements combine spatial cells, sensor clocks, travel speeds, band signals, and application records. A correction or weighted share is meaningful only when coordinate frames, units, timestamps, and coverage bases agree. Supplied calibration and support flags remain distinct from measurements that establish them.
Return clockGap=massFlowAt-positionAt, correctedGap=clockGap-suppliedTransportLag, and sampleGap=correctedGap/samplePeriod.
When to use this tool
Use Yield Flow Clock Gap when you have the stated field, sensor, map, or application records and need this correction or geometric/accounting component.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter massFlowAt, positionAt, suppliedTransportLag, samplePeriod. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read clockGap, correctedGap, sampleGap. Use the output convention below.
Require nonnegative suppliedTransportLag and positive samplePeriod. Return clockGap=massFlowAt-positionAt, correctedGap=clockGap-suppliedTransportLag, and sampleGap=correctedGap/samplePeriod.1

| samplePeriod | Sample Period | Required. Finite number; strictly above 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| clockGap | Clock Gap | Required. Finite number. |
| correctedGap | Corrected Gap | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- Use one common time unit and origin for timestamps and durations. SampleGap may be negative or fractional; no rounding or automatic clock synchronization is applied.
- 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. Signed zero is exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Verify the measurement calibration, coordinate frame, spatial support, and clock convention before combining this term into a map or control workflow. Use a complete equipment or field model when geometric and operating constraints matter.
