I had an email today from Wolfgang Maichen, the designer of these scopes. The picaxe.com PCB-scope is functionally identical to the DPScope SE, and it does use USB HID, and not the USB virtual serial port like earlier models. The protocol is described in http://www.pdamusician.com/dpscope/files/DPScope_SE_Interface_Description.pdf, linked from http://www.pdamusician.com/dpscope/downloads_se.html, and looks pretty simple.
