Just about all electronic brake controllers operate on 1 basis.
It is the selected power setting on the unit coupled with the inertia of the braking action.
As Tombie points out, it is nothing to do with the brake pedal pressure being sensed, but it might seem like it as the harder you brake, the higher the reading will be on the controller as it applies more power to the electric brakes on the trailer.
This is only because of the sensed braking inertia felt by the controller, just like if you slammed on the brakes, your whole body would get thrusted forward, the brake controller works just the same.
