I am familiar with your situation, having used both programs for some years. As far as I know there is no ready-made solution. You will have to write the MathLink code yourself. On the LabVIEW side, it will be embedded in a Code Interface Node (or maybe a DLL), and on the Mathematica side, you will have some port-listening setup for the time when the first (i.e. initialization) call from LabVIEW arrives. The only caution is to beware what you are doing inside Mathematica if your concern is fast real-time operation. Depending how tight your timing requirements may be, I would suggest an asynchronous arrangement that queues up the data inside Mathematica to give it all the time it needs to perform your analysis.
