If you're using the FindLstn function that's in LabVIEW, then the bus number refers to the GPIB Bus number and if you only have a single GPIB controller, that is by default bus 0.  Bus 1 does not exist. Now, if you are trying to detect instruments connected to bus 0, you need to create an address list array to search for listeners. You can create an array with all possible GPIB addresses or have an array with a limited amount of addresses.
