Labview can communicate with many devices, the key is identifying what info you need to make the program.  Provided the manufacturer doesn't already provide VIs, you'll need to make your own.  For this you'll need the following information to start.

 

Does the picoscope use GPIB (what's the device address?)? RS232 (buad rate, terminating characters, stop bit, parity?)? USB ?

 

What commands would you need to send (usually short string messages)?  Check the user manual of the scope for this info.

a quick look through the manufacturer's website shows that you want the Softwar Development Kit (SDK) located here.  http://www.picotech.com/software.html

 

It contains labview examples along with DLL wrappers (the subvi's you will be using to construct a functional program)
