I'd like to read the signal from a chinese digital caliper into labview and display the distance. I found this site which has a lot of info about these scales and how they work. http://www.shumatech.com/support/chinese_scales.htm
Can I use a NI USB-6008 to do this?

Very doubtful. The data clock rate is too fast for the 6008 since it does not have hardware timed digital I/O. The analog inputs cannot sample fast enough to accurately sample the data stream. Even if they could, decoding the data would be a formidable challenge.
