You should be able to read directly from the serial port itself.

Indeed. Have you looked at the serial port examples that ship with LabVIEW?

There is no built-in mechanism in LabVIEW to do this. You can look to see if it can be done with operating system calls. I had previously posted an example on how to do it with the command window. I have no idea if it will work with your terminal window.
