Frequently Asked Questions

Find Quick Answers

What is PWM flicker and why does it matter?

PWM flicker occurs when pulse width modulation signals cause rapid brightness variations in LEDs or displays, which can cause eye strain, headaches, and visual discomfort. Monitoring flicker helps design better lighting and display systems.

What file formats does the tool support?

The tool supports CSV and TXT files with two columns: time (seconds) and voltage (volts). Each row should contain a time-voltage pair representing the PWM signal waveform.

How is flicker percentage calculated?

Flicker percentage = ((Vmax - Vmin) / (Vmax + Vmin)) × 100%, where Vmax and Vmin are the maximum and minimum voltage values in the PWM signal over one complete cycle.

Can I analyze multiple PWM signals?

Yes, you can upload multiple files sequentially or adjust parameters manually to compare different PWM configurations and their flicker characteristics.
