Open the settings tab, and click "Calibrate". It will open a wizard, just move turn the rotary switch back and forth until you can identify the axis it is associated with in Windows. When you are at the right screen, just turn it all the way from one extreme to another, and it should calibrate the full range for you.

Another tip, make sure to use the 3.3V VCC line from the launchpad, and not the 5V line. The 5V one could damage the analog input.
Thanks for the tip. It worked using calibration for the rotary switch. The only problem is that all the other axises are going completely crazy. This doesn't really matter since I will only ask for the axis that I need, but it is kinda strange....
