Duty Cycle & Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Meter Applications

Duty Cycle & Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Modes
Duty cycle graphr In duty cycle mode, the meter displays ON or OFF time in percent from 0% to 100% of period for repetitive pulse trains. In the illustration, duty cycle in percent is 100 x t/P. In pulse width modulation (PWM) mode, the meter also determines the duty cycle ratio, but then scales this ratio for display in engineering units.
Monitoring Laser OperationPM and Speed
Duty cycle measurement Laureate counters can be programmed to display the duty cycle of a laser, the number of pulses, elapsed time, the number of pulses, the average pulse width in µs, and total energy applied. This data can be transmitted digitally via RS485 or Ethernet.
