A real plethora of resources on this site. Should have everything you need.

If you want to customize the dashboard, this tutorial goes through a number of important items in that process:

The video is from 2009 - if anyone has a more recent instructional item please share.
The dashboard went through a major rewrite this year. Unfortunately, that makes that tutorial obsolete.

Thanks to both of you for the update. I'll change the link to avoid any confusion.

i feel like there is something i am missing i have not been able to find any parts in the pdf which talk about writing the robot code in C++ and then taking the C++ calls and making them available in labview that way i can interface them with gauges for the dash board

[Greg McKaskle]

If you use the C++ version of the dashboard on the robot, you can connect to it from the LabVIEW dashboard simply by naming the variables the same. To connect a LabVIEW gauge to a variable, you simply place it in the tab control on the dashboard and give the control the same name as the variable.
