You will need to implement a PID control in LabView, where the encoder inputs are compared to your desired position. The outputs will drive the motor voltages up and down, until the desired position is realized.

LabView has several built-in PID functions, and there are many threads here about how to use them.

How do they have no way of understanding encoders if the encoders are built in?
