I do not have experience with this instrument or driver but have you tried increasing the timeout value? On the front panel of the VI that you mentioned there is a place for the timeout value. 

Please repost if you still have problems with it. Thanks!

Problem solved! The timeout value within the initialize.vi of the driver was set to the default 10 seconds. I increased that and now everything works fine. thanks.
