Claim 6:
7. A method for transmitting a value by means of a pulse-width-modulated signal, said method comprising:
outputting the pulse-width-modulated signal having a first pulse width which represents the value or a range around the value;
reading back the outputted pulse-width-modulated signal;
checking whether the value or the range is capable of being derived from the outputted pulse-width-modulated signal; and
if the value or the range cannot be derived, outputting an error signal;
wherein the outputted pulse-width-modulated signal is a first pulse-width-modulated signal having the first pulse width which is in a range accepted as valid by a receiver, and the error signal is a second pulse-width-modulated signal having a second pulse width which is outside the range accepted as valid.
