A bit more info would be helpfull.
Do you mean using LabVIEW with the FTC (NXT) Servo controller?

FTC Servos go from 1 to 255 (not 0 to 255). 1 and 255 are the extremes.

Sending a position of "0" just goes to the last commanded position. (handy for keeping the servo in position whitout knowing were it was last sent
