How to access it and download documents and manuals from repository?

Sadly due to current situation in the world and russian attack on Ukraine authentication is now mandatory to access the xDevs.com repository archives. Please contact team[@]xdevs.com mail to request your own unique login and password to repository. It would also be very nice to introduce yourself a bit and confirm your country and town.

If you never contacted xDevs.com before, please introduce yourself and confirm your geographical location (Country and town/city, no need for personal addresses). Just a short paragraph about why you have interest in test and measurement equipment and technical documentation, that usually would be enough. You’ll then get most likely get your unique login and password to access the repository.

Information you provide will NOT be stored or shared anywhere for any purposes, we just want to be friendly community and help. Making documentation available for older test equipment is also supporting Right for Repair for products that you already bought and own in your lab. Making something very complex like the electronics test equipment has huge carbon and ecology footprint, so supporting the Right for Repair by servicing your equipment and fixing it with manuals and documentation worth the efforts to make our world a tiny bit better.

It usually takes few working days to get new accounts into the system, please keep that in mind. Remember, this resource is otherwise freely available, it will never be under any kind of paywall. And since we all reasonable adults, please not share your login/password with 3rd parties but direct them to this page instead. It takes a lot of time and effort to maintain and update the repository so legitimate people can enjoy it and help each other.
