Sulfuric and Nitric Titration of a Sulfuric/Nitric Acid Bath

I would like to determine the sulfuric and nitric acid concentrations independently in a sulfuric/nitric etch bath. The bath is prepared with 10.25 oz. sulfuric and 2.5 oz. nitric per gallon - balance water. The bath is used to etch/clean magnesium casting alloys. Unfortunately I'm a metallurgist and not a chemist... Any advice?

I'm also interested to know how to determine the concentration of both acids.
