Designing a virtual instrument to drive Thor labs 2-axis galvo mirror

I am relatively new to LabView, and am looking to design a program to drive a 2-axis galvo mirror from ThorLabs, it is a GVS-012. Both mirrors are wired to BNC analogue output connectors on a NI USB-6343 DAQ card. I am attempting to use the mirrors to create a bidirectional scan in order to create an intensity plot where I can find the points of maximum intensity and then be able to set the mirrors to that fixed point to do further analysis. I have gone through the documentation from ThorLabs, but there is very little information on how to integrate the system into LabView. My current code is designed using the NIDAQmx API along with a waveform signal generator. Is there a better way to design such a system in LabView?

Have you looked through the several other ThorLabs and galvo mirror topics on this forum?
