It seemed too obvious to be true. Could it really be that simple? Thanks, Mark!
Of course, I spent the day trying to make connections on an older robot to test all this, and now discovered (after connecting all the dots, so to speak) that LabVIEW and the Arduino programming port don't play nice together. I am making a nice collection of laptops around me just to test this.

Yes, if you're not doing a high volume of data, this is an easy and viable method.
