Cypress / LED / LabVIEW - it works - right?

Our team transitioned to LabVIEW this year. Last year, it was C++. Last year's team used the Cypress board for the first time and had LEDs light up. This year - it's a mystery. Right now, we are using a Cypress board to do analog inputs, digital inputs and digital outputs. We can do the AI and DI just fine. For some reason, they are all stumped lighting up LED's (Digital Outputs).

QUESTION: I'm not versed in LabVIEW yet so just wondering... is anyone programming LabVIEW, using the Cypress board and successfully lighting up an LED? If so, can you clue me in a direction to take because the full team (five kids) shrugged thier collective sholdures at me.

Background: We've been working with the Cypress boards from last year and as mentioned, all the inputs work great. We have a 2nd Cypress board with LED's in it and when it's powered up by the USB (no programming), the LED's do light up. But, when controlled by LabVIEW... not so much.
Lastly, the firmware version installed on both Cypress units is: FRC_IO.v2.hex
