About this manual 

This manual targets both novice and advanced users, providing a full resource for everyone. However, for a full 

understanding of the operation of the XScopes, the user should be familiar with the operation of a regular oscilloscope.  

The features documented in this manual are for units with firmware version 2.40+. 

Conventions 

XScope: Xprotolab, Xminilab, Xprotolab Portable or Xminilab Portable. 
Portables: Xprotolab Portable or Xminilab Portable 
CH1: Analog Channel 1 
CH2: Analog Channel 2 
CHD: Logic Inputs 
Fast Sampling: 10ms/div or faster time base 
Slow Sampling: 20ms/div or slower time base
