Synchronization between edge count and analog input tasks

Dear all,

I have a DAQPad 6015 for USB and I have to measure a torque signal through an analog input and an encoder through a edge count on a counter.
The problem is that both tasks have to be syncronized because I need to plot an XY graph (angle-torque).
I readed that I can use an external signal connected in the Gate terminal as a sample clock for both tasks (use the associated PFI line as a trigger).
The question is if I can use the same signal of the encoder also connected to the Gate terminal because I haven't any other external trigger that can be used.
If it is possible, I would know if there is any limit about this trigger frequency, because sometimes the "Data was overwritten before it could be read by the system" error appears.
If there is any other solution to my acquisition application, please explain it to me.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Best regards.
