Yes it is possible. This can be acheived through serial communication. Read about serial communication like VISA, VISA configure, VISA wite, VISA read etc.

Read about the serial communication of device with you are going to communicate i.e. some communication document etc.

Depends on your requirement 

[Ranjeet_Singh]

You want to measure the ac voltage and current using labview from which device ?

[321hanan]

I do not know which device will serve my purpose. Thats why I want to know that what device or method I should choose.

[Ranjeet_Singh]

I went through the link you provided and I think that is best for you becasue it is made for students with lots of advantages.

But I need it confirm that my task can be done by that device because it is very costly and I m not a professionalist.
