GPIB instruments read and write

How to read data from a GPIB when sending a command.
I'm using Signal generator SMY02 and power meter from Rohde and schwarz.
I am trying to read and write data to above mentioned instruments.now my questions are? When I write command such
as "*IDN?" to the GPIB device signal generator , everythings is fine and I can read what the
GPIB device return me. But when I send a command like RF 23 MHZ or Level 5DBM the writing seems to be okay, but when I try to read the data, I
alway get a "Timeout expired before operation completed" error message. I
have tried with the Instrument asisstant in labview express but the result are the same with both.
i am sending the VI. moreover in powermeter i am even not able to write *IDN? co
mmand.i am using the address28 for the signal generator and address 13 for the power meter.
thanks for your help.
regards
