I have been meaning to try out some transciever chips that had an SPI interface for quite some time and was about to code up a SPI VI in LabView to work over some DIO lines. Luckily, I did some websearches first and found a free tool called SPIGen from Freescale. The tool will generate and capture up to a 160bit “command” which can then be used in scripts and with triggers. The tool works with a standard parallel port and does not require any special hardware. The maximum output rate is on the order of 100kHz and software timing is assumed.
