I am looking to purchase the MCC USB-501 and use it to acquire the ambient temperature on an event driven basis. The data logging portion is something I am interested in, I just want to have my application acquire the tempture when a certain event occurs. Does anyone have any LabVIEW drivers for this device?

I don't know what you mean by using a logger that collects data on an "event driven basis".
It is nifty little device, but it basically does one thing. It logs data. You load the software, configure it for when to start an how often to log data, unplug it, and put it where you want to log the temperature. When you're done, you get it plug it back in and download the data that was logged.
There is no way to configure it to react to events. It's possible that a LabVIEW driver exists for this, but all it would do is provide an alternate way of downloading the data instead of using the software that comes with it. It is not an immediate or interactive piece of hardware like a normal data acquisition card would be.
