You don't have to program it; that's already been done for you. There's a PID vi in LabVIEW.

Your desired speed goes to the setpoint input. The encoder signal goes to the process variable input. The output goes to the motor.

You will have to "tune" (adjust) the P I and D gains to make it work right.
