I should have read this earlier. The answer is no. Unless you are using the Realtime Signal Extension - ie., "realtime signals". The real question is "Why are you doing this?" It's not like there aren't USR signals or realtime signals (lots of them) you can't use. No offense, but you're just creating problems for yourself.
