You will need the latest .NET framework from Microsoft to be able to execute the program. Notice that there is a different driver for Windows XP.
For USB connectivity, you will need:

1. USB capable device, such as the Xminilab HW 2.0, or Xprotolab HW 1.7.
2. Update the the device with the latest firmware.
3. Connect the USB device and install the USB Driver. I currently don't have a digital signature from a certificate authority, so you will get a big red warning when installing the driver. Trust me, the driver is just WINUSB with my own .inf file.

Xprotolab hardware version 1.4 and 1.5 don't have USB, so you need the UART to USB cable for connection to the PC.

This is PRELIMINARY software, meaning that it partially works.

New version 0.24 needs to have the driver reinstalled.

Thanks to Murray Lindeblom for his contribution on the WINUSB drivers.

This application is open source, so that anyone can port it to another OS, or perhaps just use the source for a similar project. Here is a snapshot of the program:

Just tried and the application opens (win xp), but does not do anything (just as you said). Do you know when this will be working? When it does, please email us. Thank you for a wonderful little oscilloscope!

That link above is for net framework 2.0; the program reports it needs .NET 4.something. Here is the correct link:

Works on my XP after getting over some initial strangeness probably due to changing too many controls too fast. Updates surprising fast, 1 per second for dual channel display. I connected through my own level shifters to serial COM1, don't have a UART USB cable.

I did try mono but was not able to get it to work. Even getting the USB communication getting to work in Linux is not documented.

Hi Gabo. Nice job with the new devices (thank you, I did get the ones updated). Trying to install the usb driver while on Win7 I get "invalid parameter". Any idea?

Hello! My lab recently ordered your XMEGA Xprotolab -- the version. We are very excited to use it.

I am having trouble connecting it to my computer. I downloaded the latest Windows Net 4 program. The PC user interface works as well. However, when I use a microusb to connect the protolab to the computer and press "connect" on the PC user interface, it doesn't seem to connect and gives "error" in the firmware box below. Do you have any suggestions? I really want this to work because of how good of a device this is!
