context: However, the measurement overhead is accounted for and the measured value represents the actual scheduler lock time as if the measurement was not present.


Thank you.

"Accounted for" generally means "taken into consideration". There should be definite articles.

The text in the image is vague and difficult to understand.

Hi:
This is not the first time that one said the image is vague, but it's very clear from my view.
Can you snapshot your screen to me?
 
I said the text is vague, not the image, notwithstanding the technical terms used.
 
The original text is fine. You just left out the definite article before 'measured value'.

What is accounted for is 'measurement overhead'. This is the time that is added by the measurement process itself, but it has subsequently been deducted, thus giving a true measurement.
 
Theoretically, if there are other measurement overheads, all accounted for, then it would be OK without the article.
