Can the 6533/6534 be Tristated?

Hardware: Digital I/O (DIO)>>High-Speed>>PCI-6534, Digital I/O (DIO)>>High-Speed>>PXI-6533, Digital I/O (DIO)>>High-Speed>>PXI-6534, Digital I/O (DIO)>>High-Speed>>PCI-6533

Problem:
I have a 6533/6534 on which I am looking to do bi-directional communication. I would like to tristate one of the lines and need to know if this is possible.

Solution:
The DAQmx Channel property node does allow for the 6533/6534 to be tristated, but this will be a software-timed tristate.  The DAQmx Channel property DO.LineStates.DoneState is used for a hardware-timed tristate.  This property node is not supported by the 6533/6534, so any hardware-timed tristate will not be feasible.
