Which operation is used to compute the deviation correction in this system?

• A. Add OT Factor to Spotting
• B. Subtract OT Factor from Spotting
• C. Multiply OT Factor by Spotting
• D. Divide OT Factor by Spotting

Answer: (C)

The adjustment is proportional: you scale the observed spotting error by a factor that defines how sensitive the system is. The OT Factor acts as that scaling factor, so the deviation correction comes from multiplying the spotting value by the OT Factor. This makes the correction grow with the size of the error and with the system’s sensitivity. Using addition would apply a fixed offset regardless of the error, subtraction would move in the opposite direction without considering how large the error is, and division would reduce the correction as the error increases, which doesn’t reflect a proportional, factor-based correction.
