PWMDaten

PWMDaten, short for Pulse-Width Modulation data, refers to the time-domain information that describes PWM signals used in electronics and embedded systems. It typically records how the duty cycle, frequency, and timing of PWM channels vary over time, and may include related electrical quantities such as voltage levels. PWMDaten are important for analyzing control loops, validating motor drives, and documenting the behavior of power-electronics interfaces.

A PWMDaten set may be represented as time-stamped records for edge-based data or as regularly sampled samples. Common fields include timestamp, channel_id, duty_cycle (0–1 or 0–100%), frequency (Hz), period (s), high_time, low_time, and voltage_high/voltage_low. Some datasets also store control mode (edge-aligned versus center-aligned), switching patterns, and status flags. The choice of representation affects precision, storage needs, and the ease of downstream processing.

PWMDaten are collected with oscilloscopes, data loggers, microcontroller telemetry, or motor-test rigs. They are used to evaluate PWM accuracy, jitter, harmonics, and the effectiveness of filtering stages. In simulations, PWMDaten support verification of control laws and power-stage models, as well as reproducibility of test scenarios. They also underpin documentation and debugging in development workflows.

Typical storage formats include CSV, JSON, or binary formats such as HDF5, often accompanied by metadata fields that specify sampling rate, device, unit scales, channel mapping, and date of capture. Proper calibration and time synchronization are essential when combining data from multiple sources. While the exact schema varies by project, the core idea of PWMDaten is to provide a precise, machine-readable record of PWM behavior.
