Synchronization of multiple USB-4431

Hi,

 

Can multiple USB-4431 units be synchronized together using the digital i/o port to share the sample clock?  looked at docs but I don't fully understand the pin assignments for the digital i/o connector. 

 

If it is possible would it require labview level timing or would NIDAQmx handle it via channel expansion?

 

Thanks.

I believe I have found the answer.  Yes the clock can be shared via PFI0 and setting one master device with additional devices as slaves.
