I wouldn't say it's impossible but why do all that UART stuff by your own?
Why not use a RS422 card? Or use an RS232 to RS422 converter?
You don't have to care about the protokoll/timing in your program and still can add the lines to 2 DI pins (via optocoupler?) for measurements.
just my 2c

HI,
A contractor (NI-Alliance memeber) suggested to us that the counter output will only supply 75% of the TTL current in the logical low state. Since then we have tried driving a TTL input with the counter output and all seems to work very well. Although it would have been reassuring to find a document stating the compatibility.
Thank you.
