Why did I measure incorrect PWM signal from my [c]FP-PWM-520's Vout?Hardware: Compact FieldPoint>>Discrete I/O Modules>>cFP-PWM-520, FieldPoint>>Discrete I/O Modules>>FP-PWM-520
Problem: I write 0.5 to the channels of my [c]FP-PWM-520 in Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) and the return status of the write operation is "Success". However when I measure the output with an oscilloscope I see a large DC component added to my output signal. Why is this? Solution: This is expected behavior. Without a load, you will measure a DC voltage added onto the PWM signal. The solution is to add a 1 KΩ resistor between the Vout and COM terminals.
