Adjust Sensor Output to be Zero

We are attemping to use the built-in accelerometer in the new RoboRIO (Just for fun), however when we read it while standing still, it reports -0.014. Either way, it does not read 0.

I want to know if there is a built in function in LabVIEW for normalizing the senors or shifting all of its reading to make it 0 or more close to it so that future reading are accurate. In other word, are the any built in VIs to help calibrate sensor input? I recently learned the ability to put a point-by-point median filter on it to help keep it from jumping around but now just need to help offset it back to zero.

Any ideas?
