Is the sequence-based approach officially supported to achieve a 100ms pulse on PXIe-4133?

Issue Details

We are using a PXIe-4133 and need to generate a pulsed current waveform of 10 mA for 100 ms.

However, the maximum supported pulse width on the PXIe-4133 is 655 µs.

After reviewing the specifications, it appears that a dead time of zero (100% duty cycle) can be configured.

Therefore, we propose an alternative approach: 
Using a 100% duty cycle 10 mA pulse with pulseWidth=50us repeated across 2,000 elements to achieve a total duration of 100 ms.
(2,000 × 50 µs)

Is this sequence-based method officially supported for achieving a 100 ms pulse on the PXIe-4133?

Solution

Yes, as long as the driver does not return an error, this approach is supported.

The driver includes built-in validation to ensure that the pulse sequence does not exceed thermal limits.

Additionally, it automatically inserts a thermal cooldown period after the sequence to prevent heat buildup within the unit.

Additional Information

Please note that this cooldown period may affect how frequently the PXIe-4133 can generate the requested 10mA pulse for 100ms.
