I'm not sure what you're asking. Do you want to know how to add a time stamp to the data you're reading? There's Get Date/Time in Seconds on the Time & Dialog palette that you could call every time you read the serial port. If that's not what you're asking or if you need additional help, please post back with further details.

You can communicate with a BASIC Stamp microcontroller over serial using VISA. In LabVIEW go to Help, Find Examples and search for serial. This will show you the basics of serial communication in LabVIEW. Also after performing a quick search on Google I found this link:

Here you can download an example using LabVIEW 7.0 or higher to communicate with a BASIC Stamp 2.
