TCP/IP connection with IEEE1344 protocol to LabView

Write an instrument driver.

Not out of the box but TCP/IP is, and any protocol based on TCP/IP can be implemented in LabVIEW. There are various
NTP and IRIG-B VIs around on the web, at least I guess you want to use NTP or IRIG-B, which IEEE 1344 seems related to.

Yes of course. You just need to know the protocol format. You have two possibilities: most TCP/IP protocol are text based where you send specific text commands and parameters over TCP/IP. Some are binary where you need to pack data into byte streams. Your IEEE1344 protocol is likely a text based protocol so writing a driver is simply understanding what text messages need to be send over the network.
