LabVIEW and MAX use the NI drivers to communicate to cards from NI. A
third party card can work with LV as long as they provide a driver, but
it will not be configurable or testable in MAX even at that point since
the driver will be quite different from the NI driver.

To call the card from LV, you can either call their DLL driver directly,
or you can call subVIs that are preconfigured to call into the DLL.
First look on the board manufacturer's site and the rest of the web for
VI wrappers. If you don't find any they aren't difficult to make, but
it does require a good working knowledge of the DLL functions.

Drivers and manuals for ICP-DAS products, including LabVIEW software, are available here:

Have you tried their VI's and if so do they work?

Here is a document that shows how to call a DLL in Labview for Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP.

LabVIEW 7 Express simplifies the creation of measurement and automation applications so it is probably similar to the steps in the document but simpler.
