What is the card? The manufacturer may provide a driver which makes things easier. Or you can use NI VISA which is a general instrument driver and can talk to some VME devices, see http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/4E49DE1C52039B7186256ACE0044B556

They are providing drivers for VME in both linux and windows but specifically is there any drivers for the communication with Labview????  Actually I need to Log the Data in lab View GUI recieved from VME bus

If their drivers are in the form of DLLs then you can use an external code node to call them. That usually works pretty well.

Ok  Thank You Very Much..............    I am new to Lab View can you tell me briefly about how to use external code node..........if you dont mind.................

The node you want to use is the Call Library Function Node.  If you look up DLLs in the Find Examples utilty (accessed via the help menu) you will get some examples.

 

The LV2012 help file can be found at http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361J-01/glang/call_library_function/.  It should also be installed with your LabVIEW installation.

 

This page tells how to configure it:  http://zone.ni.com/reference/fr-XX/help/371361J-0114/lvexcodeconcepts/configuring_the_clf_node/

 

There is also more information on ni.com.  You can search there as well.
