Help me with this expression

[Sepmre]

Hi,

I would like to know if this expression "Either methodproduces calculated results typically within 10 V of each
other."
grammaticaly is correct? and if so what it means?
Infact i'm in trouble with "either" can it be used just by one element? does it make sense?

Thanks

Please give more of the context in which this expression is used.

It would be natural and unambiguous to say:

"Each method produces calculated results typically within 10 V of the other."

Alternatively one could say:

"Both methods produce calculated results typically within 10 V of each other."

Given that I have been able to work this out, logically I must admit that the "either" construction makes sense, but it is certainly muddy.

I don't think either is any more 'muddy' than each. I'd probably use both.

Thank you very much.
Actually i would like to know if we have to use a plural element to make it have sense or it's ok even with a singolar elemet.
"either method" or "either methods" wich one is correct?

Either method. It's singular.
