The relevant functions are in the Connectivity -> Input Device Control subpalette. Use the Initialize Keyboard vi to create a reference to the computer's keyboard. Pass that reference to the Acquire Input Data vi. The output of the Acquire will be an array containing all the keys that are currently pressed.

If you want to test for a specific key, you can feed the "keys pressed" array into a For Loop using auto-indexing. Each iteration of the loop will get one of the keys in the array. You can compare the detected key against a constant representing the key you are looking for.
