Hello,
I suggest this:
http://pointclouds.org/documentation/tutorials/openni_grabber.php
I used Kinect, not Xtion, but they are both OpenNI compatible so you should not have any problems.
To get the data to Labview, check out the Kinect examples at:

Hope this helps.

Hello,
Asus Xtion is a 3D camera, right?
Labview does not support this directly as the drivers are not DirectShow compatible as in most web cameras. You need an OpenNI interface to access the data of the device. The easiest way (in my opinion) is to use PCL's cloud callback to get the XYZRGB stream.
You can create a .dll that you can call in Labview. The link I posted before will take you to the site, where you can download the source code and .dll for Kinect (there are also instructions on how to get it working). It should be really simple to modify for Xtion.
Best regards,

Hello,
Labview will not detect xtion nor Kinect. You need a wrapper around the sdk you've installed. You could go with Kinect sdk and use. Net if I remember correctly (libfreenect for Labview I think) or you can use OpenNI. Google, and you will find a lot of ibfotmation regarding this. If you want to get it working with OpenNI I suggest using PCL. Then, if you need to postprocess your 3d cloud, it will be simpler. For a full example, check out this link: https://decibel.ni.com/content/blogs/kl3m3n/2014/02/16/kinect-in-labview-using-pcl--point-cloud-libr...
