instrument does not respond most of the time

Hello-

Unfortunately I was unable to find a driver for this instrument at http://ni.com/idnet. This leaves you with one of a couple options. It may be possible to modify an existing driver to work with this instrument. Otherwise, http://www.ni.com/devzone/idnet/other.htm states a few options to obtaining a driver. Drivers are developed based on demand and popularity so the more requests, the greater the possibility that one will be developed.

Is the instrument capable of indicating local or remote status? If so does it go remote when you send commands?
What status do commands like viWrite return?
Are you sure you don't have an address conflict?
What programming language are you using? Is it officially supported?

I honestly don't mean to be rude or critical, but this kind of description is extremely incomplete. Some sort of details would be useful.
