Detecting Start of TeleOp Mode

My team is developing a custom Dashboard in LabVIEW, and we'd like to be able to have the robot signal to the Dashboard the instant TeleOp mode begins - we want to have a local timer running that should be very very close to the actual field time to give our drivers an extra visual cue that time is running out.

I'm not sure if I'm overanalyzing the problem, but I don't think it's as easy as knowing when the TeleOp routine begins (and hybrid ends). During a game, hybrid mode begins and runs for 15 seconds. Then there's sometimes a pause between the end of hybrid and the beginning of teleop - last year the referees took this time to remove unplaced keepers from robots. During this pause I *think* the robots are in TeleOp mode but they aren't allowed to receive feedback from the driver stations - I just don't know and this is where I was hoping someone here knew. I would like to be able to have the robot code know the instant the radio communications come online and the robots are able to be controlled remotely.

Is this as simple as knowing when the teleop code begins, or is there something a little more crafty required?

Thanks!
-Danny
