The Pre-update bench test involves the use of jumpers to change from tank drive to arcade. after you do the update (hence the "post update") you re-run the test, but instead of jumpers, you switch between tank and arcade with the throttle control on joystick #1. Also, pre update you can't run auton. mode unless you switch to auton, and then power cycle the CS. After the update, you can go back and forth at will.

now the throttle control, is that the small thing with the tab, in the middle of the joystick towards the bottom where the base is? its default location is down, but u can move it up? is that the throttle control?

There are three analog axes on the joystick, X and Y the joystick axes and the throttle. The throttle is the knob like thing on the base in the middle on the rear. Yes it has a tab. I don't consider it to have a "default" position since it is not spring biased, but when the tab is down, the analog output is minimum, and when the tab is up, the output is at its maximum.
