Unfortunately, the DIO lines on the PCI-6052E are only static. They cannot perform hardware-timed I/O. For some, a software-timed loop is sufficient, but I see that this is not possible in your case.
There are other Multifunction DAQ boards that do support strobed DIO. The
PCI-6025E is a 12-bit board that contains an 8255 chip that can perform handshaking I/O. On the other hand, the
NI PCI-6120 is a simultaneous sampling 16-bit board that supports strobed I/O on it's digital lines.
I hope this helps!
