Of course. The IR Seeker is actually extremely easy to use; a lot of ROBOTC teams who use it successfully, utilize Xander's 3rd Party Drivers (hitechnic-irseeker-v2.h to be specific).

As for placement, a lot of teams will place it at an angle to get the sweet spot between detectors such as zones 4 or 6. This has nothing to do with LabView or ROBOTC, but rather with the internals of the sensor.
