APM2.5 : PPM output from A8 possible?

ArduCopter Copter 3.2
1

I wish the APM2.5 would send a PPM signal in output from A8 to drive a servo.
In Mission planner I tried:

  1. to set the A8 as an output of “camera gimbal PAN”,
  2. to set Copter LED mode to "disabled"
    Performed these operations, A8 still does not generate the PPM signal
    Can anyone help me?
    What steps should I do to get the PPM output from the A8?

firmware version 3.2

Thanks.

@Fabio Fly,
You generally do not use a PPM signal to drive a servo unless you have some new type of servo that will accept a PPM signal.
Most servos that I know of accept PWM input.

Thanks for the reply TCIII.
I apologize for my mistake.
I wanted to write PWM.
I connected APM2.5 outputs A10 and A11 to the the Tarot gimbal, to adjust the tilt from the PWM generated.
This works correctly.
Now I wanted to drive a servo with one of the A1-A8 outoput, but I can not.

Is there a solution to that problem? Is it possible to get an PWM signal at A8 or A7?
