counter / timer PXI6602

Support:
NI PXI 1002 AC, Labview 5.1, NI DAQ 681,
Devices: PXI 6602, 6025 E, 6508

My question is to synchronise 4 counters in mode "count events" during 100ms, on PXI 6602 with counter 1 in mode "pulse train generation" 50 Hz on PXI 6025 E.
How can J find the level HIGH / LOW of OUT pin counter 1 PXI 6025 E to control the GATE pin of the 4 counters in mode "count events" on PXI 6602, without hard connecting.
Evently, it could be a another solution with inverse control like the control of 6025 E by 6602.
thanks for your answers

You can use Route Signal.vi in LabVIEW (or the NI-DAQ function Select_Signal) to route the OUT of the 6025E counter 1 to a RTSI pin. Then you can call the function using the 6602's device number and select the source of the counters' GATE to be RTSI 0.
In LabVIEW you can use the Set Attribute function to select the gate source. Or you can call the NI-DAQ function GPCTR_Change_Parameter.

Here is also a link that describes how RTSI is implemented for PXI DAQ Devices:
