Trouble talking to Newport 1835-c device

i can send commands to the newport but when asking a query such as d? it fails on the recieving end as if we are asking it to respond too fast. The eBus(14) is the most common error when it fails and we have to reset the newport device to get communications back. Can someone please respond with a solution. Useing win2000 Dell(optiplex - ???) pent3-933 256MB PCI-GPIB, Labview 6.0i. Newport 1835-c is a 488.1 device needing termination how do i set this up correctly?

Are you sending the query command with ? VISA viWrite
function never sends automatically and your query string must
include an ascii 0x0A at the end. NI-488.2 may send with a
condition of the EOT parameter.

But, normally most gpib instruments must accept cmd/query strings
without as long as EOI signal is added at the ending byte...
