298. Hantek DSO 2250 USB with Openhantek on Debian Testing/Wheezy

To contact us Click HERE
I wanted to get Hantek DSO-2250 USB running on debian. I first tried openhantek 0.2.0 but it doesn't support the DSO-2250, so I ended up using the development version. I had to get the configure and Makefile.in files from another source though (see below).

I finally got the scope to work as shown below -- I primarily needed it for some work on NMR probes I did two years ago, but better late than never.

Probe set to X1

Probe set to X10

Before installing anything, on plugging in the oscilloscope we get:
dmesg

Plug in your oscilloscope:

At this point the light on the oscilloscope was blinking red.

sudo openhantek

Check the 'show spectrum' thingy (I'm running this with the probe on CH1 connected to the square wave cal at the back of the scope).
I can only get it to work as root -- work on sorting that out some other time.
