LabView drivers for USB to DMX512 hardware

Anyone find any hardware (USB to DMX512) that is supported by LabView (i.e. LabView drivers)?

I'm not aware of any DMX-512 interfaces that come with a LabVIEW API. However, most of those interfaces come as PCI cards or as serial-to-DMX512 converters.
In the first case, there is always a DLL to communicate with the PCI card and you can use LabVIEW's Call Library Node to call that DLL from your LabVIEW code.

Quite a few DMX-512 converters are connected through RS232 (or RS485) and LabVIEW as built-in support for the serial port. This seems to be the easiest approach.  Here is a link to a Discussion forum which discusses this:
