True, I used a voltmeter to generate the data on that page, but I didn't claim
anywhere on my page or previous posts that that was what I used to prove it is
not PWM. Proof is obtained by opening the controller, getting the number of
the chip used and looking it up in a databook. Turns out to be a simple
variable voltage regulator.
