Talon SRX Encoder Readouts for labview.

Hello!!

We are having problems getting encoder values to go to the dashboard. We are using the CAN talon speed controller.vi found under the help>find examples in labview. When we deploy the vi it displays values to its front panel. We see the readouts on the graph. However, right once we try displaying the values to the dashboard it stops working.

To display to the dashboard we are using in the VI:
NT WRITE and setting the name "Encoder"
Then connecting the value to the terminal

To display to the dashboard we are using this dashboard code.

NT READ and setting the name to "Encoder"
Connecting that to an indicator and putting that on the dashboard.

Code is attached below.

Does anyone have any idea of why the encoder is not printing values? It prints to the front panel of the VI but not to the dashboard. How come?

Thank You
Sai
