Single Motor Trouble

I am trying to control a single Bane Bot motor using a Jaguar speed controller.
It appears that my trouble is with the Motor Set Output VI. I tried to use the stock labview example, and still no luck. I know it isn't the electrical wiring, because this VI did not work with one of our drive motors that functions when used with the holonomic drive VI. Does anyone have any idea where I may be going worng, or what I may be over looking?

Does it function incorrectly or just plain not function at all?

Also, please note the LEDs on the Jaguar and report their state before running, during running, etc.

Re: Single Motor Trouble

It did not function at all. The Jaguar LED's were flashing yellow. I was able to get the motor to function by deleting all of the motor references and re-coding. There didn't appear to be an error in the reference names, but I can only assume that was the problem. Thank you for your help!
