Hi Andy,

This is a known issue and our engineering team has been informed about it.
The current fix is to do just like you did, disconnect and reconnect the probe so it's recognized by the scope.

Hi,

According to the manual page 1-2, the TDS 600Cs can only be programmed through the GPIB port, but they can use the other 2 ports to download screenshots.

So as long as you're okay with pressing the front panel Hardcopy button, a simple RS-232 adapter should work well. Otherwise you will need the more expensive GPIB to USB converter.
