Generate Constant High?

I've got a PXI-5402 that I'm using in an application to generate single pulses of a square wave (durations of 5-100mS or so). Works great. But now I'm looking for a way to generate a much longer constant pulse: I might need the pulse to go high for up to an hour while I run a test. 

 

Is there an easy way to configure the 5402 for a constant 5V output?

Standard function DC??

or sine amplitude 0 with DC offset?

I obviously was not thinking when asking this. Of course the generator can output DC. I missed it both in the manual and on the Soft Panel. Disregard.
