Need Help with DCP sensors

Hi there!

I've got a small problem:

I need to make some measures , and i borrowed some sensors for Lego Mindstorms.

Unfortunately, i dont have the mindstorms block here with me, and i must use Labview to get the Data.

I do have: the NXT Brick with software, Labview8 + Lego toolkit, the sensors,  the DCP sensors (from dcpmicro.com; Acceleration and rotaion sensors), and of course the cables needed to connect the sensors from DCP to RXC and then to the NXT LAN cable.

Is it possible to get the measures with these components?
The Program works fine, i tested the Lego sensors on the screen and all worked fine, but somehow it doesnt work with the DCP sensors.

What do i have to add, so that the Program works fine?

Thank you for your help!

sometimes measures are simple to get.  do you have a collaborator locally who can help you with your project assembly.  it is always invaluable to meet with a collaborator who is interested in designing the same bot.  the project may be so much simpler than it seems, but sometimes we sit looking at something too long and we can't see how easy it is anymore.   sometimes that second opinion just clarifies everything.

Unfortunately I do not have any collaborator.
The other Problem is i have to get the measures until January 4th, so i cant get the mindstorms brick in time.

I must get the measures with Labview, that was the task.

Does anyone have the sensors and is able to give me a clue or a working program?
