Yes, and I have updated them and they are available 
<http://sthmac.magnet.fsu.edu/labview>.  The gotcha is that they use traditional 
serial port calls and since LV 7.0 those calls are now routed thru VISA.  There is 
also a native VISA version that is much more robust and simpler.  It is a great 
package and made the transition from traditional serial to VISA almost trivial!

But since the traditional serial port calls have gone away this is not a work around.  
The best is that there is a serial only visa package that makes things manageable.
