Hello spatan2,
It depends on how your arm kit and controller interface with a computer as there are many ways to communicate between National Instruments hardware and software and third party instrumentation.
I tried to see if we had any existing documentation on using LabVIEW with your Robotic Arm, and I found an existing forum post about a similar question. This forum may answer some of your questions on using the arm robot with LabVIEW.
There was also a similar question asked on the RobotShop forums, and it looks like you can communicate with the servo using serial communication through VISA commands in LabVIEW.

Hannah,
Just an update - I did end up using Arduino with labVIEW, and was able to move the servo - However, the LIFA apparently is archived. Its LINX now.
Thanks,
