Using a Sony ILX751A Linear CCD with any arduino.

Oh great! Congrats! I haven't had much time to look at things with Mid-terms blowing things up. The exposure time was a big question mark for me. I thought it was cause I am such a noob at this. Here is another noob question.

what does the data actually look like? I have a friend working on the Gui for this project and he would like to make a csv document for our Gui to open and make a simulation of what things will look like so he can further debug. There is no information on the data sheet about what this stuff looks like. I imagine its intensity and wavelength or color.

I attempted to write code for this the other day and failed miserably. I don't know if it's because I don't know what I am doing, or if it is something simple like I started in the wrong part of the clocking sequence. I'm hunting for backup plans on this project just in case.
