Generating short digital pulse

[hartloper]

Hello,

I am currently trying to generate a very short digital pulse to light up a high powered LED.  I am currently using a USB-6009 DAQ and the minimum pulse length I can achieve is 1ms.  I am looking to generate pulses on the order of 10 us with about 10% duty cycle.  Is this possible with the USb-6009 or would I have to move to another DAQ?

Thanks in advance,

Colin Hartloper

Since the USB 6009 does not have pulse generation, I'm guessing you are using the Analog Output, and for that channel 1 ms is very good. It has a 150 Samples per second update, which puts you at about 6 ms updates. You probably need to move to another DAQ.
