I have recorded a PWM signal from a given device.
I require to determine the duty cycle(s) of the signal as the transitions from one state to another.
How may I output the duty cycle of the PWM thoughout the signal?
I am using Matlab 2016b

s=pwm>threshold;%pwm is your signal, threshold is when it is considered on or off
d=diff(s);
idx1=find(s,1);
idx2=find(d==-1);
idx3=find(d==1);
num=idx2-[idx1-1,idx3(1:end-1)];
denom=diff([idx1-1,idx3]);
dutyCycle=num./denom;

I assumed your data was a horizontal array. For a better response, attach your data.
s=CH01_01(:)';%convert to horizontal array
s=s>.75;

Thank you for your help,
After making the change, I no longer have any error.
However all the calculated duty cycles are greater than 1?!
Is there something else that needs to be done with the data please?
I have attached the data as requested. Kindly please advise.
s = CH01_01(:)';
s=s>0.75;%pwm is your signal, threshold is when it is considered on or off
d=diff(s);
idx1=find(s,1);
idx2=find(d==-1);
idx3=find(d==1);
num=idx2-[idx1-1,idx3(1:end-1)];
denom=diff([idx1-1,idx3]);
dutyCycle=num./denom
