GPIB with labVIEW

If anyone can help me out, I am trying to hook up a Keithley 3390 Arbitrary Waveform Generator to LabVIEW with GPIB to control the generator.  The waveform generator is hooked up with an oscilloscope with a BNC cable and I want to use the instrument drivers for Keithley 3390.  I am new with LabVIEW and I thought I did everything right but it keeps giving me this error message saying id query failed.  I have found on multiple sites to disable the id query all together.  Does anyone have any input?

Which driver are you using?  Can you show us your code?

ID query is being done in the initialze VI. Look for it.

I found the id query and the initilize VI controls.  There is an option that says turn the id query to false but I don't believe that it is disabling it.  I tried that but then it still gives an error message.  I will take screen shots tomarrow when I am in the lab so it is more clear.  Also sorry I posted two posts it was just really frustrating me.

I took screenshots of the error message, the initilization front panel, and the block diagram.  I am not sure what to do next though

You still have the ID Query turned on.  Wire up a FALSE to that input and see what happens.
