RTSI With Non E-Series Cards

I'm trying to figure out how the RTSI bus works with non e-series cards. The Route Signal VI mentions that it only works with the e-series.

The system I'm developing will include:
2 - PCI 6534
2 - PCI 6031E
1 - NI 5911
1 - PCI 6111
1 - NI 4060
1 - NI 4551
1 - NI 5401

I want to use the RSTI bus to trigger on any signal from the first five cards, however, they aren't E-series.

What VIs or methods do I employ in order to use the RTSI bus with these cards?

Thank you for your help!

If you post this question in one of the Measurement Devices categories, you are likely to get more responses.

The PCI-6031 boards and the 6111 are E series so you can use Route Signal.vi with them.

The other DAQ boards that you are programming using NI-DAQ function calls will use RTSI Control.vi. This vi is right next to
Route Signal on the Functions Palette.

The 5911, 4060, 4551, and 5401 are all highly specialized boards and have their own special drivers that make programming them easier than using NI-DAQ functions. For each of these drivers, there is a configuration subpalette that will have functions for routing signals over RTSI lines.
