Text about trucks and how their components are controlled by a special external model. The sentence I am having trouble with is: "Das minimale Tastverhältnis gebt an, auf welches Tastverhältnis des PWM signal der minimale Signalwert eines CAN-Bus-Signals abgebildet werden soll. What exactly does the minimum mark-space ratio do????????

I would have a go at it like this:
The minimum mark-space ratio specifies the mark-space ratio of the PVM signal to be used to represent the minimum signal of the CAN bus signal.
I personally do not like mark-space ratio, but I am not where my dictionaries are and 'duty cycle' does not apply here.

Tastverhältnis = duty cycle (never heard about mark-space ratio).
The sentence means
The minimal duty cycle value indicates which is the the duty cycle value that REPRESENTS the smallest signal value on a CAN bus.
In other words if you want to use the largest possible dynamic range you'd better make the end dutycycle scale correspond to the smallest signal to be represented.

: "duty factor" is a synonym for mark-space ratio and PWM is pulse-width modulation.

As I mentionned I never hear this expr. Thanks for the input. PWM consist essentially in varying the duty cycle according to a quantity/demand (very often power, but also current, voltage, etc)
