OriginPro 2022 (64-bit) SR1 on Win10
-I've just recently tried out the ODR fitting method in OriginPro, and am trying to understand the values of the fitting results.

I made up a simple dataset of x, xerr, y, yerr values and fit it to a straight line equation in the NLSF, as well as using the 'Linear Fit with X error' option. Both routines produced the same fit results (parameters, parameter unc., RSS, etc.). However, when I try to make sense of the RSS value and the residual values, I cannot figure out how those values are being determined.
Here is the NLSF fit results:

When I look at the curve tab, I see:

Question 1): How are the "Residual of Sheet1..." values calculated? I cannot find a reference that explains these, and cannot figure them out based on the actual data values (columns C,E) and the values of the fit (columns A and B). For example, the very first row indicates that the 'y' residual should be: 2-0.04577 = 1.95423, yet column F has something completely different.
Question 2): The online information indicates that the RSS value is calculated the same as usual (for LM fits), but I cannot reproduce the value being reported by the ODR fit. I think this must be related to the first question.

Thank you for any help that anyone can provide.
