Can 7 phase shifted 1kHz digital squarewaves be output using E-series DAQ?

Is it remotely possible, using a PCI-5052E board, to generate seven different 1kHz squarewave digital outputs that are phase shifted (0 to 180 degrees) relative to the first output.

Unfortunately, I wouldn't consider this very likely at all. While there is 8 DIO lines on this boards, you only have immediate software update control over them. (No strobed, hardware-timed output.) So you'd need a program that constantly toggled the state of these lines which would not be very fast or deterministic for that matter.

A PCI-6602 counter-timer board would be a more likely solution and costs much less than a 6052E. However, you'd have to trigger each output at the right time in order to get the phase shift. The most flexible solution would probably be a PCI-DIO-32HS.
