vi
= contains a session handle to the instrument. This handle is obtained by the function and remains valid until the
session is closed.
dioPulse
= a bit mask which instructs the instrument to send a pulse on the specified DIO channels. The low 16 bits
map to the 16 DIO channels. The upper 16 bits are ignored.

The upper 16-bits will always be zero.
For example, to issue pulses on DIO lines 0 and 8 (assuming both backs are configured for output:
dioPulse
= 49164 → 0x00000101 → 00000001 00000001b
Pulse widths are 1 microsecond (µs).

ViSession instrumentHandle;
ViStatus status;
ViInt32 pulse_mask = 0x00000101; // pulse output bits 0 and 8
…
status = vtex1629_send_dio_pulse(instrumentHandle, pulse_mask);
