How to synchronise a NI-PCI 6034E card with a NI-PCI 6601 card

As part of my thesis,I make a LabView acquisition  of physical quantities  ( Temperature, pressure and mass flow )  on a turbocharger test -bench  equipped with a NI-PCI 6034E acquisition cardwith a sampling frequency of 500 Hz corresponding to a statement every 2 milliseconds. I would like to couple this acquisition to an other one called the  PIV technique (Particle image veliocimetry) based on  an impulse of laser not exceeding 8Hz (acquisition all 125 ms) associated with an acquisition of image in every impulse through a CCD camera and using a NI-PCI 6601card and a Timer box . Knowing that both cards are  separately installed on two computers and seen the lag of frequencies, I want to know how  to connect  the two  cards and to synchronize them (having  the same start time) and develop a VI using  PFI  line making  the NI-PCI 6034 E card as Master which triggers the acquisition for both cards at t=0 and wait 126 mseconds each time  to launch the next acquisition for the slave NI-PCI 6601 card .

Thanks for your answers .

Have you looked at the examples that ship with LabVIEW?  There are examples on how to synch multiple devices.  Go to "Find Examples", "Hardware Input and Output", "DAQmx", "Synchronization".  Look there first, I think it will help you a lot.
