Normalizing motor speeds using Arcade Drive in Labview

Working on the 2009 robot and we notice that the left drive motor starts turning sooner than the right motor. So, using Labview and Arcade Drive, we are trying to make both motors go at the same time.

Looking at the Open 2 Motors vi, it looks like there is a TransformRef buried down in the RobotDriveDevRef that looks promising, or maybe the deadband, which also looks promising. We tried using these without much success of even figuring out how to modify the values.

So, looking for some thoughts or clues of the best way to solve our problem.

Thanks
