DESCRIPTION
This function generates a 1 µs pulse on selected channels of the trigger bus. The pulse will occur only if the selected
channels are enabled as outputs. When a channel is programmed with a static level of high, the pulse will be low-
going. When a channel is programmed with a static level of low, the pulse will be high-going.
