The following Labview code:

does not receive any data from my USB Saitek X52 joystick. I am not able to figure out why.

Is there something I am missing?

Since I don't currently have a high enough reputation to comment on your original post, I'm having to ask for clarification here:

1) Attaching your LabView code as a VI snippet will allow others to properly see and edit your code. From the block diagram select the menu "Edit" --> "Create VI snippet from selection"

2) Does this joystick show up in the National Instruments Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) program? If not, you probably need to solve that problem first.

Some advice, move the 'Init Joystick' out the while loop, is there an error returned?
What input method have you used, does the read data return an error?

you were right about moving the init joystick outside the while loop. – user1068636 Jun 09 '13 at 22:19
