Does anyone know if labview can communicate with these zigbee receivers?

I have this zigbee kit:

 

https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13197

 

and currently have a serial device connected to the transmitter end which is connected to an arduino that wirelessly sends a string value when commanded by the arduino to the zigbee reciever that is connected to my pc over the serial to usb converter cable. I can read the strings in the zigbee terminal program (XCTU) but would like to read them in labview so that I can graph the strings. Has anyone ever tried this before with these xbee nodes? Will labview serial read from an always on node (assuming I vconfigured it in recieve mode in XCTU first) if I just do a serial read on the xbee com port?

labview212,

 

The driver for the xbee will create a virtual COM port on your pc when the zigbee xbee is connected via usb cable.  You can verify this in device manager.  NI-VISA functions in LabVIEW will allow you to directly communicate using this port.
