labview interface with phidget servo motor

I am trying to control a phidget servo motor (found at www.phidgets.com) with Labview, with a USB 4 servo controller interface connecting the servo(s) to a computer.  On www.phidgets.com there is an example Labview program that I downloaded and tried but it gives me an error message:
Error -2146959355 occurred at Unknown
This error code is undefined. No one has provided a description for this code, or you might have wired a number that is not an error code to the error code input.
Of course, this is probably of little help but I'm wondering if you have any information or ideas or sample programs for controlling a phidget servo with Labview.  If it helps I need the servo to oscillate back and forth following a sine wave.  If I can get this to work I will generate a random wave pattern to create random oscillations.
thanks in advance for your help

It looks like the LabVIEW example you are talking about is using ActiveX because the error you mention is typically caused by ActiveX objects.
I have searched in our public knowledgbase for the error number and I found this document which might contain some useful hints how to resolve the issue.
