The PFIs can be configured the same way digital I/O lines are
configured.  They live in subdevice 7.  In the comedi_examples
CVS module, the simultaneous_start example changes PFI6 (which
has a positive transition when analog output starts) is changed
to output, so that the analog input can trigger off it:

    /* NI E series boards: configure PFI6 to be AO start signal */
    comedi_dio_config(dev,7,6,COMEDI_OUTPUT);
