Try using the GPIB MISC function. I am not 100% sure that it will work in RT, but it works in Windows, and is still visible on the pallette when in an RT project. The picture below shows how this could be used:
rsv = Command to set the status byte
@ = Hex value 0x40, which equates to the Service Request bit. You can change this to another value if needed.

Let us know if it works out,
