One solution would be to write (in C or C++) your own plugin to 
Virtools (called a BuildingBlock or BB in Virtool's world). This BB 
would then do the controlling of the external device, using the 
libraries that you probably have. Check out the SDK documentation for 
how to write a BB plugin.
Another solution would be to send data using TCP/IP to another 
application that manages the controlling of the device. More complex 
to write, and depends on the availability of a TCP/IP BB in Virtools 
(does this exist ?).
