The maximum pulse width that can be set depends on the selected period for the pulse. For example,
if the period is set for 500 ns, the maximum pulse width that can be set for the fast speed is 490 ns
(500 ns − 10 ns = 490 ns).
The pulse width setting takes effect immediately during continuous pulse output. Otherwise, the width
setting takes effect when the next trigger is initiated. The pulse_trig command is used to trigger
continuous or burst output.
Example
pulse_width(VPU1, 1, 250e-9)
Sets the pulse width for channel 1 to 250 ns.
