How to use external clock for DAQmx Sample Clock with Sigma-Delta ADC based PXI boards

As stated in PXIe-4302 User Manual (NI Document 377003a):

External Clock
The NI PXIe-4302/4303 ADCs cannot be clocked from external sources such as encoders or
tachometers. However, signal processing features in the Sound and Vibration Measurement
Suite often provide an excellent alternative to external clocking in encoder and tachometer
applications. Visit ni.com/soundandvibration for more information about the Sound and
Vibration Measurement Suite.

 

Is this true of all Sigma Delta ADCs?

 

If this is true, are there any other hardware methods one can use have an encoder be the external clock the AI sampling?

I posted a reply over here.   Spoiler: sorry, no magic bullet.

CAUTION! New LabVIEW adopters -- it's too late for me, but you *can* save yourself. The new subscription policy for LabVIEW puts NI's hand in your wallet for the rest of your working life. Are you sure you're *that* dedicated to LabVIEW? (Summary of my reasons in this post, part of a voluminous thread of mostly complaints starting here).
