I used this device to read memory data from a camera through i2c and labview. I recommend starting with control center serial (provided in this webpage), check script generated by this software then develop your virtual instrument in labview based on the script.

easy plug and chug - saved a bunch of time!

Very easy to use once you get it up and running - was able to quickly diagnose improper protocol on my I2C bus, especially start/stop bits. Some improvements: 1) include a decal of the connector pin-out on the body of the pod. I went ahead and printed my own out, and attached it, so I don't have to always go back to the manual every time I'm making a connection. 2) make it a bit clearer which program should be downloaded from the software page.
