You cannot generate such an AO signal as the 6363 only supports upto 2.86MHz sample rate for a single AO channel. To create pulses of 200ns length you need a sample rate of (minimum) 5MHz…
Why don't you use DO pins as they allow upto 10MHz sample rate?

Hi KNIGHT OF NI
Thanks for your reply, Well I can but the main issue is that i also need to vary the amplitude of the impulse signal. can you refers me the module who's analog card capable of generating the impulse signal of 200 ns pulse width

Hi armaghan,
please call your local NI sales rep to discuss all of your requirements.
Then you will get a suggestion about hardware from NI and maybe also a valid quotation to buy it…
What about an external (fast) amplifier circuit driven by a DO pulse?
What about using an external MOSFET, driven by the DO pulse, to switch on/off the AO signal? (Might be cheaper then DAQ hardware capable of driving AO signals at ~10MHz.)

o yes That's good option do you have any MOSFET based circuit diagram which will be helpful in my course

You’re not asking much, do you? We don’t have a hardware engineering service in this fora and to design a circuit like this takes quite a bit more than a few minutes.. Do you really expect anyone to give you several hours or more likely days of hardware engineering service for free on here?
And when you talk about course, do you mean this was a course assignment from school? In that case you surely should have been able to reason that 200ns resolution needs at least 5MHz update rate and that with standard AO hardware you won’t be able to do it. Unless you skipped classes of course.
An easier way would probably be a 5MHz clock and a logic divider by a certain factor to get your 20Hz signal. With 2 or 3 TTL logic circuits this should be doable (or integrating this in FPGA). Still need a voltage controlled amplifier afterwards to satisfy the adjustable amplitude.

thanks KNIGHT OF NI for helping me in this course (issue)

If you want to go the laboriously, but instructional way to build your pulse generator with some external hardware and your DAQ:
Some more points to look at:
-rise and fall times?
-settle time/ringing ... (you will learn a lot about impedance 😉 )
-how fast do you want the parameters to be changed?
Depending on the max amplitude ... a modern line driver? (see datasheets ti ad max ..)
