I try to modify the hp54600a instrument driver for GPIB, so i can use it with RS232. But somehow it didnt work. When i try to run the initilize it, the prgoram show VISA read error (time is up before the process is finish). How should I modify the VI so I can use it with RS232 interface ?

First, check the instrument's user manual to see if the GPIB and serial command sets are the same. Also check to see what EOS(End of String) characters the instrument requires. Then, do a loopback test to test communication in LabVIEW.
