as with any tool, labview will provide you an easy to learn language to automate your test, plus an extensive support network. both NI tech support and through the forums here. There is a learning curve involved. By default, when you install labview from disk, there will not be any drivers for those instruments, but drivers are available to download through both the R&S website and from the NI website for these instruments. the SMIQ can be a bit tricky, but if you know the keystrokes, as you get to a specific menu, and hit the help button, it will show you the GPIB command for that function. In my experience, I usually start with the stock driver I download, and taylor it to my specific need.
I think the question you are asking is there a CDMA measurement suite already completed for you in labview. The short answer is no. If you do not wish to design and code a suite, there are 3rd party companies that make their living doing systems integration. As one of the previous posters answered, these can be found through the NI alliance members. You can hire them by the hour, or for a complete system. They can do stuff as simple as architect the software for you to coding a framework for you to completing the whole suite. Most will give you the source code, although you need to check the contract before you sign it. But as far as I know, you will be in the same boat no matter what language you were to choose. One major difference is LabVIEW is specifically designed to do this type of coding so in terms of asking for help, like here in the forums, you are more likely to run into.. "been there, done that... and here is how you do it" in terms of specific implementations. I doubt anyone, should they have already coded a system in the exact configuration as yours, will just give you the code. But many examples and a lot of help can be garnered from here.
I hope that I have answered your question.
