Labview is a graphical programming software that can help you to develop a nice application quickly. It may be required some config data. The NI labview can operate itself with out a hardware. the hardware is a data accessory unit.

I usually use VB to create programs to control applications via serial port, USB. Labview can not do? I have seen over the site of Labview, but I see the pictures as cards need to communicate with the Labview.
