Duration of the pulse. In PEF and for exponential decaying pulse, pulse width can be calculated as the resistance of the food times the capacitor capacitance. This is also called time constant.
The actual real time between identical points on the leading or trailing edge of a pulse to the next successive leading or trailing pulse edge. The pulse width of the output signal of most encoders is a 50% duty cycle on the clock outputs. Some models utilize a timed or "one shot" output. This provides a constant pulse width irrespective of the pulse repetition rate or shaft speed. The factors to be considered when determining pulse width specifications are: (1.) What is the minimum pulse width requirement of the counter or PLC? This information is available in the counter or PLC specifications. (2.) Pulse repetition rate versus pulse width. With a constant pulse width, the individual pulses become closer together as the pulse repetition rate or shaft speed increases. At some point the pulses will overlap and the output signal as a series of well defined pulses ceases. The pulse repetition rate varies inversely with the pulse width and vice versa.
The length of time that the pulse voltage is at the transient level. Electronic pulse widths are usually in the millisecond (10-3), microsecond (10-6) or nanosecond (10-9) range.
Pulse width refers to the duration of the electrical pulse produced by a capacitive discharge fence. (See On-time / Off-time)
The interval of device ON time in a period.
the length of time a signal is on or off
The amount of ON time for a pulse. The pulse width of a fuel injector tells how long the fuel injector was opened
The length of time, measured in milliseconds, that the output pulse is delivered. Pacemaker output is usually defined in terms of voltage (pulse amplitude) and milliseconds (pulse width). Pulse width is measured from the leading edge to the trailing edge of the wave. Also known as pulse duration.
The amount of time the pulse takes to go from low to high and back to low again, conventionally measured at 50% of full voltage.
The time interval between the opposite steps of an ideal pulse. For a nonideal pulse, time between the 50% points on the leading and trailing edges. The time spent in the high voltage state.
Time interval between the leading edge and trailing edge of a pulse at a point where the amplitude is 50% of the peak value.
