Hello Joe, I am pretty new to serial comm, but I have enough knowledge to know that not all protocols can handle more than one comm pair (master-slave, master-master...) on a port. If there are more than two entities sending data on the same line then you need a way for them to tell each other apart. This is part of the protocol used and the depends on the capability of the nodes.
It seems to me if your protocol only allows one pair then sychronization is unnecessary. Your vi will read the port more often than 100ms and all the data will be acquired - providing the port can be read fast enough. 100ms can actually be less than the time needed for a read and an acknowledgement. Al(Although, with a sensor I suppose the protocol could dispense with acknowledgements because the sensor would never be performing operations other than reporting data.) What comm protocol is used? More info could be very useful to those offering advise.
