PWM Duty Cycle Offset due to hardware limitation? NI-9472

Testing an NI-9472 using PWM code based on example found at link below.

Measured output appears to be indicating an offset in Duty Cycle timing that increases linearly as PWM frequency increases.   

 

NI-9472 has rated output rate of 100uS   

 

Testing appeared to indicate a 17% difference in commanded Duty Cycle at 1kHz Frequency, and roughly twice that at 2kHz.  

 

I believe this module should be capable of 10kHz output.  Is this kind of difference in measured Duty Cycle likely a limitation of the module's output rate? 

 

Any feedback very much appreciated!
