LabVIEW does not have a protocol for the mouse. Handling of the mouse is a system function and all communication with the mouse is handled by your operating system.

LabVIEW can determine the mouse position thru various events, but it gets it from the OS.

Just in case...

Open the subpalette Functions > Advanced > Input Device Control, and see if you get what you are looking for !  😉

If you are trying to "build" a mouse, which is read through the RS232 port, you can implement your RS232 protocol in LabVIEW using the serial port "VISA" calls. Otherwise, as pointed out, LabVIEW's method of using the mouse is through the low level calls in the Advanced pallette, or through OS calls.
