Error code 6 is a general file I/O error (I know, so descriptive). So let's run through a few ideas.
Are you supplying a proper file path?
Does the directory exist for the file to go into? The function will not create the directory structure on its own.
Does the file already exist? If it exists and you are just set to "Create", you will get an error of some kind.

Ah, yes. I had it set to create and the file already existed. I actually got it to record some data! Awesome! But it looks like this "TDSm h Ø Ð /ÿÿÿÿ /'Untitled'ÿÿÿÿ /'Untitled'/'Untitled'
" ??????????

Yes, you need a TDMS viewer. If you wanted to be able to read it in a text editor, you should have gone with a CSV or a tab delimited file.
There is a TDMS viewer in the palette. You can just plop that down and wire in the file path. Or there's an Excel Add-On so you can view the data in Excel.

Apprantly in labview 8, the TDMS close function does not have a file out node.The only place it will let me wire it in is at the beginning, before the loop even starts.
