LabView program for USB-1616HS-4 as SPI controller

I am new to using LabView with hardware. I am trying to use USB-1616HS-4 (datasheet attached) as SPI controller to control one of my device. I would like to use it to control Data in, Data out, Clock and Latch signals using LabView. The datasheet says there is a ULx LabView library for this USB-1616HS-4 device. I am not sure from where to start and how will the LabView program look like.
 
Any help is much appreciated.
 
Many thanks,
-Moe

For everybody else, a reference to your device: https://www.mccdaq.com/usb-data-acquisition/USB-1616HS-Series.aspx 

 

Personally, I would just get a USB-8452.  This device is made specifically for I2C and SPI interfaces.  It also has a pretty simple driver that does the SPI stuff for you, with examples.

I would also recommend USB-8452, it saves you a lot of time in implementing the protocol using a generic DIO and gets you up and running right out of the box.
