You can use the PPS form a GPS module not with the SMB but as FPGA Digital input (cRIO-9401 is 100 ns accurate) to synchronise all FPGA acquisition with the PPS.
The FPGA code record the delay between the PPS and the first measurement (after the PPS) of any analog or digital modules.
By recording the GPS raw data in the RS232 RT input, you can know the time of the PPS then get a synchronised acquisition system within less than 1 ms.

I'd like to announce that the NI Timing and Synchronization group is currently working on a software synchronization pioneer program which will support IEEE-1588v2. We are planning on supporting the following platforms in Q4 of this year (2008):
cRIO
cFP
Vision
This will be a downloadable, software-based implementation of the IEEE-1588 v2 (2008) protocol. You will be able to use the 8.6 LabVIEW RT timed loop to execute events at a synchronized absolute time between multiple RT targets. If you have a GPS receiver that provides 1588 v2 time as a grandmaster, your software would be synchronized through IEEE-1588 v2 to GPS time.
To note, the PXI-6682 and PCI-1588 family of products will have Beta NI-Sync 3.1 software available around the same timeframe to support 1588 v2 and interoperate. In fact, the PXI-6682 could receive GPS or IRIG time and master the network for this implementation.
I will post to this forum as more information is available.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions
