counters synchronization

Hello everyone
So, here is my problem..
I want to generate 4 synchronized continuous pulses and I have a NI 9401 plugged in a cDAQ 9171. My thought was to create a pulse generation task with four counters and in order to synchronize them I trigger the three counters to the fourth. I have tried that before using another device (usb 6351) and it worked. However now, i get an error...

"Specified route cannot be satisfied, because it requires resources that are currently in use by another route." 

Then, with a cable I connected one counter with another non-counter terminal in order to use this as my trigger source and then i got another error...


"Lines 4 to 7 of this port are configured for input. Cannot configure these lines for output at this time"

It's like the device doesn't support bidirectional operation of the channels.

Is there any way I can finally synchronize my pulses, or I have to change the device? I' attach the code if you want to check it.

Thanks in advance
