LabVIEW is (literally) a Laboratory Visual Instrument Engineering Workbench, that is, a software method for building Instruments capable of acquiring data, manipulating data, controlling equipment/switches/devices, etc.
You would not ask someone for help in getting your electrical circuit to work properly without showing them a circuit schematic, nor ask why the design for a new airplane "wouldn't fly" without providing a blueprint for the design.
Similarly, for help with a LabVIEW "Virtual Instrument" (compare the proper capitalization of LabVIEW with the bolded letters in the first sentence, above), we cannot provide much help without being able to examine all of the LabVIEW code (meaning all of the VIs you are using, best done by compressing the file holding your Project and attaching the resulting .zip file). It would also greatly help to know what devices you are using to acquire your data and to display it, including how you output it to the "optical rail" (a new term, for me).
Does anyone on your team know LabVIEW? Have you had any training in LabVIEW? Is there someone at your school who could serve as a Mentor for your team? [I've tried to make myself available to our Engineering students, but "getting the word out" can be difficult with everyone so excited about Arduino and Python ...]
