Exporting a Pulse from LabVIEW to Oscilloscope

I have been attempting to export a 25ns 4.5v TTL pulse from LabVIEW to an Agilent DSO-X 3032a Oscilloscope. I have an RS232 port/cable which I can use to connect my PC to the Oscilloscope. This makes it possible to read/write data from the Oscilloscope into LabVIEW using VISA, but, I have been unable to find a way to export my pulse from LabVIEW into the Oscilloscope.

 

How may I export my pulse into the Oscilloscope, without using DAQMX if possible? If DAQMX is necessary, what additional hardware will I need?

 

Thank you in advance!

Are you trying to set up a reference waveform or actually have the oscilloscope measure a pulse?  If trying to measure the pulse, then you will need a high speed digital output or an analog output.  Either output needs to run at least 40MHz.

 I would like the Oscilloscope to measure the pulse.

For the kind of speed you are asking for, I would go with an Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG).  NI has a few: Arbitrary Waveform Generators
