Unfortunatelly the driver had been created for LV only. You can't use them in CVI directly but you can try to create a DLL in LV and use that in CVI. The following doc gives you some suggestion on how to do.

KnowledgeBase 3337DOV4: Calling a LabVIEW DLL from a CVI or Other C/C++ project

Hope this helps
