We do have a superconducting magnet from Cryogenic, UK, which comes with a LabView control program on a Windows PC. I did the only reasonable with this: trash it in the waste basket. Do NOT use Labveiw for anything which should run more than 24h in a row. Too many bad experiences with LabView control programs 
for separators at PSI and other devices. Instead of the Windows PC, we use MSCB devices and RasperryPis to communicate with the power supply directly, which has been proven to be much more stable (running for years without crashes). I'm happy to share our code with you.
