Inner dead zone is reported as none and stored as 0. Outer dead zone is 0.9 mm on both sticks and is not converted to percent. Resolution is reported as 256 steps (8.0 bit) left and 205 steps (7.7 bit) right. A second test on the page by Danny89 reports slightly different values, for example centre error 3.5% on the right stick.
