Trigger pulse length

[Quiztus2]

Using 5441 I can't adjust the trigger pulse length.

My 5441 produces a trigger length of about 200ns for started signal on PFI0. My receiving device has optocoupler trigger input and doesn't notice the trigger, because 200ns is too short.

When using the script mode I overcame this by using data marker like:  marker0(0,500) with marker event output behaviour: toggle.

I don't use script mode here because I have to readjust the output voltage every 20ms according to my control setup.

Any suggestions on how to increase the trigger pulse width?

There is a "Started Event" that you can configure the same as the Marker Events. Did you try exporting that signal and configuring it?
