Encoders w/ Cartesian Mecanum Drive

Since Andymark did not ship our Mecanum wheels out fast enough, I am working on configuring our robot with Mecanum wheels. I currently have a two joystick setup that will work with the Mecanum wheels, but I currently cannot figure out how to incorporate them into the final output values each motor receives. If possible, how can I examine what value is being sent to each motor so I can compare it to the encoder value? If this is not a viable option, what other option is there that allows me to use encoders to make sure each motor moves at the correct rate? Below is a screenshot of how I have the Mecanum drive programmed. Please ask any relevant questions that may help achieve an answer.http://s917.photobucket.com/albums/a...=MecanumSS.png
