GPIB Misc VI

I have a couple of questions. I was wondering how the MISC GPIB VI communicates with my instrument if its only inputs are the string I am sending and an error input? Does it just pick any instrument out on the bus? How can I specify which instrument to send the command to? I am currently only using one instrument but was curious if anyone knew the process.
 
I also had a question about how to use the MISC command to send other commands that are not already included in its list of commands to use( ex. sre Remote enable, loc Go To Local)? I see an option in the help menu to send IEEE 488 commands under "cmd" but have tried many different ways to get my command to go out to the bus and none have worked. I have place in the string input "cmd sre 0", "cmd sad 112", and other commands to see if any would work but none of them did. I know some of you are gonna ask why did he just use the sre that was already available, but i was only trying to verify that the command I sent using "cmd" actually worked. Does anyone know how to use misc to send out the commands I want?
