Th - Time signal is High
Tl - Time signal is Low
Tt - total time

Th Tl
<---- Tt -------->

P.S.: Th/Tt is defined as the duty cycle, expressed as a percent.
Therefor: Th=2ms, Tt=3ms = 66% duty cycle. This is generally more
meaningful since the average power delivered is the same as it would
be if Th=4ms and Tt=6ms. If Tt gets to be too high (ie. low frequency)
then the motor starts to hum loudly. If Tt gets to be too low, then
the inductive reactance of the motor windings increases, lowering the
overall efficiency.

| Still no baby..... (...) umm, thanks Matt.... but I did put in the winky face after my last statement.... and since you did bring it up my DMM does do true RMS. that's why I have never felt the need for an o-scope. my electronics projects just don't (...)
