If you are using an NI-GPIB board, LabVIEW has a simple set of gpib functions available in the Instrument I/O >> 488 palette. Also LabVIEW and the GPIB driver are shipped with several examples demonstrating simple GPIB applications.
Alternately, if you are using a third-party board, you can either use a VISA distribution compatible with the board or use Call Library Functions to directly access the driver of the GPIB controller. Documentation of the dll should be provided by the vendor.
