German
automotive audience
"Anhand des zweiten Schaltelements 29 und des fünften Schaltelements 53 zeigt sich noch, dass die Einschaltdauer der Ansteuersignale PWMDRVl, PWMDRV2 in der Stillstandsfunktion identisch zu 0 % ist. In der Normalfunktion wird dagegen das jeweilige Ansteuersignal PWMDRVl, PWMDRV2 durch die diesem zugeordnete Ansteuermimik erzeugt, wie dies zuvor bereits erläutert wurde.

I'm considering "control mimic" but I can find no proper justification for this.

control logic


Explanation:
I have an old SAP glossary where Auffüllmimik is translated as "replenishment logic." Based on your context, I propose this translation and think it would fit.
I don't think mimic would stand by itself in the USA.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Steffen Walter: I believe "mimic" wouldn't work anywhere in the English-speaking world in this context. Still, I'd be hesitant to just go for the generic "control" because this may be more specific (see above and note the difference between "Steuerung" and "Ansteuerung")

  -> True, I have seen Ansteuer... in the sense of 'drive' or 'actuate.'
