What happened?

I tried to upgrade the laser head from a "LaserTree 40W laser diode" to "Synrad Firestar v30 75W RF CO2" but it seems the pwm control pin needs a 1us "tickle" to start rf modulation. i want to know if there's a way to add this the pwm output i'm a little noob and i don't know if i need this 1us as value for 0% power or it needs to be part of pwm signal all the time
