vmagui,

I don't know a Galil DMC-740. Do you mean the Galil DMC-1740? In this case you are talking about an ISA bus board and it might be hard to find a PC that provides ISA bus slots and enough power to run an up to date LabVIEW version.

In general LabVIEW is an open platform, so if Galil provides a LabVIEW library or at least a well documented DLL you should be able to use their boards in LabVIEW. You should contact Galil for this information.
If you are really talking about an ISA board you should consider an upgrade to a newer bus technology like PCI. NI also provides a whole range of high quality motion control products that are at least comparable to Galil boards (http://www.ni.com/motion). A good LabVIEW integration for these devices is self-evident and they integrate easily with other NI products like multifunction data acquisition boards, machine vision products and bus interfaces.

Kind regards,
