If the trigger input is set to Immediate in LabVIEW or using a None status 
signal in C and Visual Basic, the pulse generation occurs as soon as the 
pulse mode is set to Start in LabVIEW or imaqIOPulseStart in C and 
Visual Basic. After generating a pulse, it immediately generates another 
pulse until the pulse generation is stopped. If the trigger input is set to one 
of the hardware trigger inputs, the timed pulse output waits for an assertion 
edge on the appropriate trigger input. After generating a pulse it waits for 
another trigger before generating another pulse. The assertion edge is 
configurable based on the trigger polarity parameter. It then generates one 
pulse and rearms to wait for the next trigger. In either case, the pulse output 
generation stops and resets if the pulse mode parameter is set to Stop in 
LabVIEW or imaqIOPulseStop in C and Visual Basic.
Figure 2-1 shows an output pulse when a trigger is selected.

Pulse Modes
Each pulse generator has a Start, Single Shot, and Stop mode. Configure 
the pulse generator when in Stop mode. Then, set the pulse generator to 
Start mode for continuous or rearmed pulses, and set it to Single Shot for a 
pulse that should assert only once.
Pulse Delay
Pulse delay is the amount of time between a trigger and the first (assertion) 
edge of an output pulse. The pulse delay is configurable in units of 
microseconds or quadrature encoder counts. If configured for 
microseconds, available values are between 1 µs and 4,294,967,295 µs, 
which is 4,294 seconds, or approximately 71 minutes. If the delay is 
configured for quadrature encoder counts, the range of choices is 0 counts 
to 4,294,967,295 counts.
