About this Guide
The Xplorer GLX Users’ Guide is divided into two parts.
Part 1 contains detailed information about operating the GLX, including descriptions of every screen, win-
dow and menu within the GLX environment, and instructions for common procedures.
Part 2 contains step-by-step instructions for science activities and experiments that can be done with the
GLX, its standard included equipment, and commonly available supplies.
