Sounds like you are interested in triggering two DAQCard-5102. The triggering capabilities of this card are outlined in Chapter 4 of the DAQScope 5102 User Manual:

One thing to point out is that RTSI lines are not available in the PCMCIA version of the 5102.

If you have any further questions you can always request support from National Instruments at ni.com/ask

The 5102 is capable of being triggered from one of its AI's.

I would suggest looking into routing the trigger out of the first, and then use a physical wire to get back into PFI0 of the second.

Re: software sync, cant help you.

That's what I can offer with going to work,
