Triggering mulitple timed-loops using a PCI-6221 and RT - what is the most efficient and effective way?

Hi, I'm triggering timed loops (on a desktop running RT) from the counters and analog sampling clocks on a PCI-6221.  These loops are triggered at around 1kHz.

 

I have a setup that works but would like to know if there are any tips or tricks on optimising the way one sets up such a system as there are several ways of doing it.

 

For instance, what should the WaitMode property be set to, should I be using Control Loop from Task, can I run say a 10kHz clock and use a tick setting of 10 in the timed loop to get 1kHz, or is it better to use a 1kHz clock, if all these signals are sent on the PCI bus, what is the maximum rate and the jitter one can expect?

 

Any ideas or documents I could look at?

 

Thanks.
