How To Synchronize Ettus Research's USRP N210 with NI-6434 or with any NI-DAQ card

Hi everyone.

I need to synchronize two of my devices which are USRP N-210 and NI-6343.

Currently, USRP acquiring data at 25 MS/s rate with 14 bit resolution. The sampling rate of NI-6343 ADC is 500 Ks/s max with 16 bit resolution.

I want to sample some more analog data through one of its analog input and need to get synced samples through both devices. For example if I just input a sine wave of 100 Hz to both devices and sample it at above mentioned sampling rates and resolution, would it be possible to get synced samples or somehow getting the same amplitude at same sample number after doing some math i.e dividing or multiplying with some factor?

 

Specifically, whether would it be enough to generate 10 MHz reference clock by NI-6434's 'PFI' and couple it to one of N210's synchronization input 'RefIn' or generating a PPS signal through a GPS card and feed them to both devices? Suggest me better option and also give some details with example VI, if possible.
