I guess the question for you is, why are you so concerned with how to sync the automation on an analog console to a DAW? Are you going to be buying an analog console with automation? Are you going to be working in a studio as an engineer on a session where you will be using such a setup? I'm asking because earlier you say that you aren't even using the automation in your DAW when you mix. So why are you worried about how it works on an analog board, which you don't use? A more appropriate question would be: what would I use the automation in my DAW for? And then, if you want to try it and don't know how to do it, "how do I use the automation in my DAW?" Then, once you understand how and why and use it regularly, and if you do engineer a session on an analog desk and what to use it's automation, chances are you'll have an assistant who will show you how that setup works, but if you don't, come on here and ask, "OK I'm mixing an album on console X, how do I use the automation?" In this order, things will make a lot more sense.
