As another responder observed, there are plenty of different ones.
"LabVIEW with Style" is good, but AFAIK it was last updated for LV3(.1?)
When I last looked
one could download the additional manual which comes
with the LabVIEW Professional Development Kit - it's called something
like "Professional G Developer's Manual". This has a lot of material on
software engineering as applied to LabVIEW and some standards-based style
ideas - mostly concerning documentation, but I remember some interesting
ideas about icon design.
Also there were a pair of articles in LabVIEW Technical Resource called
"Rules to Wire By" Vol 7 Nos 1&2.
