Can somone suggest hw to allow either Mach or Labview to drive the same milling machine?

I am planning a mill retrofit and want to drive the mill for metal
cutting using Mach. I also have inspection needs for a big positioner
to move a sensor over a part, so it would be nice to use the mill for
that as well, but I want to drive it from Labview for that task so that
the data logging from the sensor can be easily coordinated with
motion.

I thought I saw a post a while back about someone writing Labview VIs for the Gecko G-Rex, but I cannot find any confirmation of this now. I'm open to any hw to do this, so can you suggest any hw that will work with both software approaches.

Thanks in advance,
