Help with passing control on GPIB in LabVIEW

I am having trouble with passing control to an instrument on the GPIB bus. After communicating with instruments, the computer is then the CIC (controller in charge). Once I kick off a routine on one of the instruments it wants to be the CIC so it can communicate with a signal generator that is attached to it. Does anyone know how to pass control to an instrument? I am assuming I need to use the LabVIEW function "VISA GPIB Pass Control" but don't really know how to do this. What do i put for the VISA resource name in this case? For the primary address to i just put the number of the GPIB address of the instrument? Thanks for your help.
