OK, I'm going to assume you are working with FTC (not FRC), and if so, you should have downloaded a bunch of "FTC" vi's to augment your copy of LabVIEW.
These are in addition to what you got when you did the initial FTC LabVIEW install.
Most of these VI's are used to access the Motor Control Encoders (or encoder related functions). They are part of the "FTC Toolkit".
The update is referenced on the FIRST FTC page:
http://www.usfirst.org/community/ftc...t.aspx?id=6650
Go to this page in the NI site to see the available updates:
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/7956
In particular is this update page:
http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/lang/en/id/1129
You want the update file called:
lv_ftc_motors_nov1708.zip
After downloading, you must follow the direction at the bottom of the page to install them. It requires you to unzip the files and copy them to a folder contained in the LabVIEW program folder.
c:\program files\LabVIEW 8.5\vi.lib\addons\FTC Toolkit
This should now give you a new sub-pallette called "FTC Motor Encoder Functions"
That's where all the controls are that I use as part of my control.
Phil.
