Help with Ni 1424 and Camera file

I am trying to configure my NI 1424 to capture the driver signal going to an LCD.  I tried using the camera file generator but I do not see where I can make the following configurations.
 
1) Where do I specify which Enable lines are my Hsync and Vsync.  There are 4 enable lines on the card.  Right now I have my Hsync connected to Enable A and Vsync to Enable B.
2) My data only comprises of 6 bits for each color (RGB).  The camera file generator seems to only let me specify bit depths in multiples of 8.  Can I just change the bit depth in my camera file to a bit depth of 6?
3) Where can I specify the data bit mapping.  There are 32 data lines on the NI 1424 card.  Assuming I am suppose to split up the 32 data lines in 4 divisions of 8, I have my 6 R data bits wired to data lines #0-5, my 6 G bits are wired to data lines #8-13, and my 6 B bits wired to data lines #16-21.  Do I need to specify this somewhere?
 
Thanks, Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Atapi46,

Thank you for using National Instruments forums.

For 2, our driver and software run in 8-bits throughout, so in essence, the answer is no, you will need to be able to obtain data in the 8 bit space.

For the other questions, I'm going to have to get back to you on those because we don't have a definitive answer at the moment.  I may have a better answer for you by Monday the 9th at the latest.

Thanks!
