You need to start troubleshooting to locate what is not right. I would suggest starting by running a piece at a time. Start with the TKTDS2XX Initialize.vi. Will it run without error?
If not,prob the vi to find out if the error is originated at the attribute set up portion, or at the query portion.

If the error occurs at the open session vi, I would would go to MAX and just do a query IDN?

If it doesn't answer here, the problem is not LabVIEW related, but setup/hardware related.

Reply back and I will try to help

Error may be caused by the GPIB::1  default resource name in the Initialize.vi

Open Initialize.vi, open the toolset, select the pointing finger hand, click in the resource box on the front panel,  and replace whatever is there with ASRL1::INSTR

 

This has worked for a TDS210MM equipped scope plugged into Win98 machine at COM1 with RS-232 cable having the correct pinout Running Labview 5.0.  Your computer may also have a yellow VISA icon at the lower right corner of the desktop.  Doubleclick this icon to run the TekVISA and identify any connected Tek equipment. The resource name for any of these equipments can be punched into the resource name box on the Initialize.vi front panel.   Of course, make sure the Win98>ControlPanel>System>Ports>COM settings match those programmed into the Scope > Utility > Options > RS-232 setup.
