PWM is the abbreviation of Pulse Width Modulation, and refers to
the method of controlling signal intensity by controlling the ratio
between the ON period and OFF period of a pulse signal.
A pulse signal is a signal which repeatedly alternates between ON
and OFF, and the percentage of ON period during a single cycle is
referred to as the "duty cycle".
PWM-controlled lighting is a method for controlling the brightness
of a lamp by controlling the duty cycle (lit time) of light from a
pulse-emission source. As the lit time becomes longer, the light
becomes brighter, and conversely, as the lit time becomes shorter
the light becomes darker.

Ideally, the relative spectral responsivity of the illuminance
meter should match V (λ) of the human eye for photopic vision.
As shown in the graph above, the relative spectral responsivity
of Konica Minolta Illuminance Meters T-10A/10MA is within
6% (f1´) of the CIE spectral luminous efficiency V (λ).
CIE ; Commission Internationale de I´Eclairage
f1´(CIE symbol) ; The degree to which the relative spectral
responsivity matches V (λ) is characterized by means of the error f1´.
Since the brightness at the measurement plane is proportional
to the cosine of the angle at which the light is incident, the
response of the receptor must also be proportional to the
cosine of the incidence angle.
For Konica Minolta Illuminance Meters T-10A/10MA, the
cosine response f2 is within 3%.
The graph above shows the cosine correction characteristics
of Konica Minolta Illuminance Meters T-10A/10MA.
