Xprotolab Portable

This product is retired, please consider our Xminilab Portable as your alternative choice.

This is the portable version of the Xprotolab, featuring an enclosure with a LiPo battery good for 12 hours of use per charge, and a bigger display 1.3" OLED provides fast refresh rates and high contrast.

What is Xprotolab?

The Xprotolab is a combination of three electronic instruments: a mixed signal oscilloscope, an arbitrary waveform generator, and a protocol sniffer. The Xprotolab was awarded as one of the 100 Hot Products of 2011, by the EDN magazine. The Xprotolab has been featured in several other online magazines, such as Hack a Day and Elektor.

The Xprotolab has been in development for several years, the hardware and firmware are stable. Now its time to put the device in an enclosure and add a rechargeable battery. The input connectors are going to be 3.5mm stereo audio plugs, and the logic port is going be a 0.1" male pin connector.
