pulse_modulate

Configures pulse modulation mode of a channel.

The Arbitrary Waveform Generator has the ability to insert a dead time between cycles of the look-up table. This time is specified in cycles of the waveform. During this time, the output will be held at the given dead_voltage. This allows the user to, for example, generate infrequent pulses without using space in the LUT to specify the time between, keeping the full LUT size to provide a high-resolution pulse shape.
