Is there a list of which devices support clocked DIO (and which don't)?

In the basic device comparison on the sales page, I don't see this, or a way to filter by this property.  My application is to synchronize digital output with the clocked analog input, and to not do this with software timing.  My old device (which I believe doesn't do this) is a  PCI-6040E (PCI-MIO-16E-4), and I am looking at buying the PCI-6221, which I think does.  Can anyone confirm or recommend another option?

You pretty much have to look at the spec sheet of the board you are interested in.  Lucky for you, it looks like the PCI-6221 does have waveform capabilities on Port 0.  And it can use the AI clock as the timing source.

There's a link on the sales page to give feedback.  Just a couple days ago, I registered a complaint of my own about the limited AI-only info given on the sales page.  I needed to identify boards that supported 32 bits worth of clocked DIO and this kind of thing *used* to be one of the filtering options.

 

If you're not happy with it either, add your voice, maybe we can help make it better.

As crossrulz already said, the M-series PCI-6221 will support clocked DIO using the AI clock as a timing source.  However, meant to suggest you take a good close look at something like the X-series PCIe-6321 which is a newer generation MIO board with several nicer features.  More data bandwidth due to the PCI-express bus, internal clocking of DIO tasks, more counters (4) with additional capability.
