Hi,

LabVIEW does not have generic USB support. The following knowledge article explains:

You can probably find more information on USB on external sites, such as:

A customer of mine also wanted to get rid of the RS-232 on the measurement/control board my company designed for him, in favour of a USB port.
We took the fastest step and bought a USB-serial chip (complete with Windows driver). After installation you have an extra serial port on the PC that actually is USB. So you can re-use your RS-232 based VI's for USB.

And it works.
