I would like to connect a Hamamatsu S10453-1024Q CMOS linear image sensor to a NI PCI-6132. The specs for this sensor can be found at:
http://sales.hamamatsu.com/assets/pdf/parts_S/s10453_series_kmpd1101e03.pdf
The timing chart is on page 3 of the pdf.
What is the easiest way to configure the PCI-6132 to supply clock pulses, a start pulse and supply voltage and to read in the video output from the image sensor?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi AV,
It sounds to me that you'll just want to setup an Analog Input Task with a start trigger, with the DAQmx start trigger also configured. Additionally, you'll create an analog output task to output the supply voltage (you can share the timing with your analog input task for the video input). There's an example here, but you may have better luck using one of the NI Example Programs (Help»Find Examples...). I would recommend taking a look at some of the synchronization examples if you're looking to have your AI and AO synchronized. Particularly, you may want to check out "Multi-Finction-Synch AI-AO.vi". Let me know if you have more specific questions, or if I've misunderstood your application. Thanks!
