How to view inputs and outputs in LabVIEW once code is deployed to robot

[SeleneCast00]

My team and I want to get more familiar with the LabVIEW code by giving the joystick commands and viewing the behavior of the inputs and outputs in LabVIEW, but how can we view the real-time values? If any other ideas as to how to interpret joystick commands we would greatly appreciate it.

You can click the light bulb button in the toolbar in labview and watch the code execute. Then you can click on the wires to place probes to see values. This would be while you are looking at the block diagram of your program. Hope that helps!

Just be sure to note that all of your code will execute EXTREMELY SLOW in this mode! This is to assist you in visualizing what is happening.

If I'm not mistake couldn't you also simply right click on the little wire out node and click create indicator?

Yes, you could do that, but the most appropriate option would be to right-click the wire and select Probe. It's designed for showing real-time values.
This only works when you run the code by hitting Run in Robot Main through the computer. There is no way to probe your code if you run it by building it and 'running as startup'. (that is, except for what you put in the dashboard)
