Hi ArieGaon,
You should be able to generate a digital pulse using the 6009 and send that to the camera's trigger input. Most camera manufacturers allow you to select from different triggering options. You will need to choose the best one for your application. There are plenty of examples for generating digital pulses using DAQmx that should allow you to do this. Here is one that may work for you:
Digital - SW-Timed Output
