Why is my impulse waveform not working?

[westerman111]

I want an impulse waveform to read 0 for 359 counts and then go up to 1 for the 360th count. I want it to then keep repeating this pattern. I have set the duty cycle percent to 0.2778%, or 1/360. . What am I doing wrong? Please see attachment to see what I have tried.

Did you read the detailed help for the Basic Function Generator.vi? The duty cycle parameter only applies to square waves.

"square wave duty cycle is the percentage of time a square wave remains high versus low over one period. The VI uses this parameter only if thesignal type is a square wave. The default is 50."
