Dutch to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks | | Dutch term or phrase: pulserend | Context: cars/electrics. The term arises in a description of a canister purge valve.
My translation: Triggering often takes place pulsatingly.
Elektrische aansturing: |
| | | using pulses (see explanation) | Explanation:
This means literally 'using pulses (instead of a continuous signal level)'.
This needs a bit of rewording to rendere it into normal usage in the translation. For the sentence, I'd suggest 'Pulse-width-modulated drive is often used' (or 'is used in many cases'). In this context, 'aansturen' generally means 'drive' rather than 'trigger'. |
