`Serial.print()` automatically adds a newline character (`
`) to the end of the transmitted data, while `Serial.write()` sends the raw bytes. If LabVIEW is expecting a newline character to mark the end of a message, using `Serial.write()` might cause a timeout. Using `Serial.print()` can sometimes resolve this, but it depends on how LabVIEW is configured to read the serial data.
