Jitter on the analog output

Using CVI5 and NIDAQ 6.51 on Win9X I try to generate a continous
waveform output on the analog output. One application is sending a pulse
to flash a lamp (1% duty cycle).
We are observing a strange 'jitter' on the pulse width although there
is no update from the program. The amount of change and its 'frequency'
depends on the system (PC, DAQ Card...). Strange enough it gets worth
when there is no data acquisition at the same time.
Is there a proper solution to eliminate this problem?
Has anybody written a continous pulse generator using on board timers
with NIDAQ/CVI or LabView?

Thanks for any help
Urs

Sounds like your phase lock loop isn't locked.
