The NXT screen displays the following information on its screen when using the required programming templates:
Code:
Line 1: [Wait for start | TeleOp Running | Auton Running]
Line 2: 
Line 3: Ext Batt: (The 12v battery voltage)
Line 4: NXT Batt: (The NXT's battery voltage)
Line 5: FMS Msgs: (The # of FMS messages recieved)
Line 6: Teleop FileName:
Line 7: (Teleop_FileName.rxe)
If you want to know it in your code then it is (at least in robotc)
Code:
externalBatteryAvg / (float) 1000;
