Delay between paired counters

We are timestamping data coming in using the 20MHz clock and a paired counter on a PXI-6123.  The problem is that when the first counter carrys over the second counter has a delay before the the carry is counted.  This delay is around 20ms.  The clocks are setup in LabWindows as follows:

 

DAQmxSetChanAttribute(lowTimerTask, "", DAQmx_CI_CountEdges_Term, "20MHzTimeBase");

DAQmxSetChanAttribute(highTimerTask, "", DAQmx_CI_CountEdges_Term, "PairedCtrOutputPulse");

 

We are currently running fast enough that the clock does not overflow twice before it is recorded and I can correct it.  It is annoying though and I want to find a better way to fix it.
