Tektronix TDS 3000 series GPIB-USB control

I have a Tektronix TDS 3032 oscilloscope hooked up to a computer via a GPIB-USB-HS connector. I am trying to control it using the instrument driver downloaded from ni.com. The default setting on the initialize block diagram under Open Instrument Property Node is Intf Type with USB as the default option. When I try to run the VI with the USB selection, it returns the following error:

TKTDS3K Error Query;
Instrument reports the following:
241:  Hardware missing;
0:  No events to report - queue empty

When I then change the Interface Type to GPIB, it returns the following error:

Property Node (arg 2) in Tektronix TDS 3000 Series.lvlib:Initialize.vi

I have tried many of the other options and they all return similar errors. I have checked with NI MAX and I am sure that the`VISA resource name is correct. Many of the other VIs in the instrument driver work just fine so I am confused as to why this one does not. Any ideas?
