Trigger a PXI DMM when a PXI DAQ is triggered from an analog trigger

I've been rooting around awhile and haven't found an answer yet, so it's time to ask the experts. I want to trigger a PXI-4071 DMM to start a waveform acquisition when my PXI-6254 DAQ acquisition starts from an analog trigger. I assume that maybe I have to tell the 6254 to output the trigger signal to one of the PXI trigger lines on the PXI bus. From there it looks like it straightforward to tell the DMM to use that trigger line as the source of the trigger. I just don't know how the have the DAQ tell the trigger line to activate when it starts acquiring due to an analog trigger. Any hints would be welcome.

Thanks,

George
