I have also just started to learn LVOOP. You might find this of particular interest with regard to implementing classes for different instruments:
1) http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/6307 (This is a good white paper and provides examples similar to what I think you are trying to implement).
2) http://vishots.com/hardware-emulation-using-labview-classes/
3) http://vishots.com/005-visv-labview-class-factory-pattern/
Also the following provide additional resource:
1) http://zone.ni.com/wv/app/doc/p/id/wv-1766
2) http://zone.ni.com/wv/app/doc/p/id/wv-2003
3) https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-15014
4) http://zone.ni.com/wv/app/doc/p/id/wv-2820/nextonly/y
1 and 2 provide a very good overview if you are just getting started with LVOOP, 3 and 4 start getting quite involved.
I hope this helps
