Minelab XChange 2 Tutorial - Editing User Mode on Your PC

With Minelab XChange 2 application, it is much easier to create and edit Discrimination patterns and Tone ID Profiles, create new User Modes, and adjust detector's Universal Settings on your Personal Computer (PC) or laptop, and in the comfort of your home. Then you can easily download/upload User Modes to and from your Minelab CTX-3030 metal detector through a USB cable.

Unfortunately the User Manual for XChange 2 has been found to be very confusing by many users.

In fact, all info on editing Discrimination patterns and tone ID Profiles is accompanied with just one illustration and fits in ONE PAGE (!) of the User Manual. To cover the same two aspects of the XChange 2 usage, this tutorial includes 10 pages with 30 illustrations. However, the following illustrated tutorial only covers in details the editing and downloading/uploading aspects of the XChange 2 program usage.

All the below-described procedural steps may seem "too much" to you, but in reality, after completing the editing and uploading/downloading steps a few times, you will sure find them simple. The Minelab XChange 2 application is user-friendly indeed.
