Hi ,
I would like to know if Labview progranming language is capable
of reading hardware ports from a computer( ie I make a card that plugs into
a PCI
slot of my computer, is there a way to speak to that card from labview)

The answer is: yes, with some qualifications depending on the OS you are
running. The Online Help or reference manuals should provide info on the
built-in "In Port" and "Out Port" functions for port I/O, and there are some
good resources on the NI Web site for additional help if you're running NT or
equivalent, such as:

Rummage around for "in port" or "hardware registers" on the NI site.
