It's not the same error at all as you can see by reading the description of it.
Why do you keep insisting on writing your own code? I use the same scope and with the driver, I was capturing waveforms in minutes? Did you even look at the examples that come with the driver?

I know but if we just remove the last component (VISA CLOSE) then the program will stop at the same step as the last time (at VISA read ). No I actually didn't find those examples. the drivers are allready installed on my computer so I didnt download it.

It's irrelevant whether or not the close is there. There is a big difference between a timeout error and the previous one.
The NI-VISA driver would have been installed but the scope driver would not have been. Did you read about instrument drivers from the link I provided? When the scope driver is downloaded and installed, open the example finder and go to Hardware Input and Output>Instrument Drivers>LabVIEW Plug and Play.
The easiest way to install the scope driver is from LabVIEW>Tools>Instrumentation>Find Instrument Drivers.
