RTSI +DSA4472 +TIO6601 +GPS +sample timestamping

I would like to get accurate periodic time stamps of a continuous data
acquisition with a PCI DSA 4472 using a PCI6601 counter card and GPS
gating. The manual of the 4472 (not very explicit like those of the MIO
or TIO series) speaks about bringing the oversampling clock (also the
DDS clock?) over the RTSI bus to synchronize multiple 4472s dacq. How
does one control this software-wise presumably using the RTSIControl.vi
(I am more familiar with the Route Signal.vi for MIO)? Isn't this
hazardous for the 4472 to use this RSTI (5?) clock as a source to a TIO
PCI 6601counter?
Many thanks for any information about how to proceed in Labview.

If it not mandatory to use the PCI6601 counter card and the GPS gating, I think it is possbile for you to use "Get Date/Time in Seconds" function in LabVIEW for the time stamping.
