Hi Darren,
You can check out the National Instruments Web site to find some resources for serial application development. You can get to it by going to www.ni.com, then by going to the NI Developer Zone (button near the top of the page) and navigating to it by using the sidebar: NI Developer Zone >> Development Library >> Instrument Connectivity >> Serial. You can find application notes and tutorials, as well as LabVIEW example code here.
You can also find additional information by using the site search.
Hope this helps!
