The most recent Duty Cycle value reported by the controller. Phidget motor controllers uses a pulse-width modulated (PWM) signal to modify the average voltage across your motor.

The table below shows the result of different Duty Cycle values when using a 24-volt power supply.

{| class="wikitable" style="margin:auto;width:75%;text-align: center;"
! style="text-align: center;" | Duty Cycle
! style="text-align: center;" | Result
|-
| style="text-align: center;" | 0.0 || The motor is not being powered.<br>The average voltage across your motor is 0V.
|-
| style="text-align: center;" | 1.0 || The motor is fully powered.<br>The average voltage across your motor is 24V.
|-
| style="text-align: center;" | -1.0 || The motor is fully powered (in reverse).<br>The average voltage across your motor is -24V.
|-
| style="text-align: center;" | 0.5 || The average voltage across your motor is 12V.
|-
| style="text-align: center;" | -0.5 || The average volage across your motor is -12V.
|}

This value indicates how hard the motor is working to achieve the target.
