B.5.MPC.R:4.1 - Compare results for the same physical question

Name the physical difference that the answer must resolve and the conditions under which it is wanted. Put the attempted result beside the changed request or observation. Recover the participants, units, times and operating regime needed to compare them.

For instance, a predicted displacement during eight seconds of motor operation and a measured displacement during eleven seconds concern different durations. Aligning the comparison may already explain the discrepancy.

If the question changed, say which quantities are now supplied and which must be determined. Keep the physical relation available while choosing its new use. A velocity-to-duration calculation can become a duration-to-command calculation.

If the comparison concerns a performance claim, recover the observation and its measurement relation. An acknowledgement can supply information about command reception while leaving physical completion unobserved.
