LabVIEW is a very cool tool, and I would encourage everyone to crack the manuals and discover all the wonderful things you can do with it. I suspect that they include a demo LabVIEW application so that you can get calibration data for targets other than the green light. The hope is that students will want to explore and use LabVIEW and the CMUcam2 in the off-season.

Anyway, I suspect you'll find that the default calibration parameters will work quite well. Just FYI, to help teams get the camera running, I started a FAQ last year: http://kevin.org/frc/camera.
