Are you looking for the manual. If so, I believe this is what you're looking for:

The command set is in there.

I do not understand your last statement. Can you please clarify?

ranjini,

Can you describe the problem that you are having?  Or can you describe what is the goal of this exercise?  What do you want to code using Labview?

I wish to use Xbee for avoiding cabling in our experimnetal set up. for that one xbee is sitting with the PC and the other one is connected to field instruments through micro controller or whatever. this is the whole game .
but to start using it, i tried AT commands ,first for a single Xbee with PC . it says it has entered in to AT command mode. but none of the AT commands returns a valid answer. it gives some unreadable characters. i connected two xbee to two different PC and saw that they are communicating each other. whatever i type in write to seria port is being transmitted. that means they are still in transmit mode and no longer they are considered as AT commands!!!???. but could use hyperterminal and get back valid answers for the AT commands.
and also i could not make out how to access the I/O pins of Xbee through labview.
I was looking for some example programs. since it is not available I am going through manual to write a proper code.
thanking you

Ranjini - Did you find an answer to your questions?  If not, I have written some labview vi's for the atnd, atnr and atcn commands.  I also have a couple examples that show how I used them, if you'd like I can send them to you.

i could not solve the problem and i am right now busy in some other projects. it will be great if you can share the codes that u have written . 

thanking you
