In order to see what the values are using the LabView GUI tool, you need to
  1. change to the YCrCb color space
  2. send the new settings to the camera
  3. capture a frame

Leaving out any of these steps means that you'll still be viewing the RGB representation of the scene. If your camera is working properly, switching to YCrCb will result in a nearly uniform purple picture, with subtly darker bluish patches for light sources and bright reflections. The green target light might not look any different in the picture, but its values are definitely distinguishable from the other lights. You can turn on highlighting and/or use the "color tracking" window to prove it.
