Openhantek6022 is a project where people from all over the world collaborate peacefully, regardless of where they live. If you are lucky enough to live in peace, please donate to the International Committee of the Red Cross.
OpenHantek6022 is a free software for Hantek DSO6022 USB digital signal oscilloscopes that is actively developed on github.com/OpenHantek/OpenHantek6022 - but only for Hantek 6022BE/BL and compatible scopes (Voltcraft, Darkwire, Protek, Acetech, etc.).
This project gives no support for its currently unmaintained predecessor openhantek.

A little HW modification adds AC coupling. OpenHantek6022 supports this feature since v2.17-rc5 / FW0204.
Every commit triggers a workflow on GitHub Actions that builds and packages OpenHantek6022 for:
- Linux (
*.deb
,*.rpm
,*.tar.gz
) - Windows (
*.zip
) - macOS - (
*.dmg
,*.tar.gz
)
This status badge here (and on top) show the build status.
The preferred way to run OpenHantek6022 is to build it from source on your system, especially under Linux.
The easiest way to get an up-to-date working code base is to clone the code from here via
git clone https://github.com/OpenHantek/OpenHantek6022.git
and then build it locally, for this you will need the following software:
- CMake 3.5+
- Qt 5.4+
- FFTW 3+ (prebuild files will be downloaded on windows)
- libusb-1.0, version >= 1.0.16 (prebuild files will be used on windows)
- A compiler that supports C++11 - tested with gcc, clang and msvc
We have build instructions available for Linux, Raspberry Pi, FreeBSD, Apple macOS and Microsoft Windows.
To make building for Linux even easier, I provide two shell scripts:
LinuxSetup_AsRoot
, which installs all build requirements. You only need to call this script once (as root) if you have cloned the project.LinuxBuild
configures the build, builds the binary and finally creates the packages (deb, rpm and tgz) that can be installed as described in the next paragraph. If you make small changes to the local source code, it is sufficient to callmake -j4
orfakeroot make -j4 package
in thebuild
directory.
- Download Linux (Ubuntu 2004 LTS), Raspberry Pi (Debian stable), FreeBSD (12.1), macOS (Big Sur 11.6) and Windows (Visual Studio 2019) packages for your convenience from the Releases page.
- If you want to follow ongoing development, packages built from a fairly recent commit are available in the rolling unstable release.
- For RPi4 see also issue #28.
- These binary packages are built on stable operating system versions and require an up-to-date system.
- As I develop on a Debian stable system my preferred (native) package format is
*.deb
. The program itself and the*.deb
package built on my local system is tested for completeness and correctness. The precompiled packages are only randomly tested - if at all - and the installation of the*.rpm
packages is untested. - To install the downloaded
*.deb
package, open a terminal window, go to the package directory and enter the command (as root)apt install ./openhantek_..._amd64.deb
. This command will automatically install all dependencies of the program as well. - For installation of
*.rpm
packages follow similar rules, e.g.dnf install ./openhantek-...-1.x86_64.rpm
. - The
*.tar.gz
achives contain the same files as the*.deb
and*.rpm
packages for quick testing - do not use for a permanent installation. Do not report any issues about the*.tar.gz
! - Get macOS packages from macports - thx ra1nb0w.
- Get Fedora rpm packages - thx Vascom.
- Download (untested) builds from last commit(s). Select the preferred
workflow run
and go toArtifacts
.
On a Linux system start the program via the menu entry OpenHantek (Digital Storage Oscilloscope) or from a terminal window as OpenHantek
.
You can explore the look and feel of OpenHantek6022 without the need for real scope hardware by running it from the command line as: OpenHantek --demoMode
.
Note: To use the 6022BL in scope mode, make sure the "H/P" button is pressed before plugging in.
The oscilloscope has quite a large zero point error. To calibrate the offset quickly, simply proceed as follows:
- Short-circuit both inputs, e.g. with a 50Ω terminating plug or by short-circuiting the probe inputs.
- Activate the menu setting Oscilloscope/Calibrate Offset.
- Set a slow timebase of 10..100 ms/div, resulting sample rate is 100..10 kS/s.
- Slowly select all voltage settings for CH1 and CH2 one after the other.
- Finally deactivate the menu setting Oscilloscope/Calibrate offset.
The offset correction is now active and is also permanently saved in EEPROM or as an *.ini
file when switched off.
OpenHantek6022 uses the OpenGL graphics library to display the data. It requires a graphics card that supports
3D rendering and runs on legacy HW/SW that supports at least OpenGL 2.1+ or OpenGL ES 1.2+.
OpenGL is selected by default, but if this does not work (i.e. the black scope window shows an error message
or closes immediately after startup), you can choose the less resource-hungry OpenGL ES variant as a fallback
by starting OpenHantek from the command line as follows: OpenHantek -e
or OpenHantek --useGLES
.
Especially on Windows, this option may be necessary to use the program.
The Raspberry Pi build uses OpenGL ES automatically, check also the graphics driver setup.
USB access for the device is required (unless using demo mode):
-
Linux/Unix
You need to copy the fileutils/udev_rules/60-openhantek.rules
to/etc/udev/rules.d/
or/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/
and replug your device. Note: If OpenHantek is installed from a*.deb
or*.rpm
package this file is installed automatically into/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/
. -
Windows
Caution: The original Hantek driver for Windows doesn't work!
You have to assign the correct WinUSB driver:-
The signed
.inf
fileOpenHantek.inf
for all devices - provided by VictorEEV and updated by gitguest0 - is available in theopenhantek_xxx_win_x64.zip
binary distribution in directorydriver
. -
Right-click on
OpenHantek.inf
and select "install" from the pull-down menu. -
The Device Manager will show (under "Universal Serial Bus devices") the name and state according to the firmware loaded (e.g.
Hantek 6022BE - Loader
,Hantek 6022BE - OpenHantek
). The PulseView/sigrok-cli firmware is also recognized (e.g.Hantek 6022BE - Sigrok
).
It is recommended to use the
.inf
file, but it is also possible to alternatively use the Zadig tool and follow the good step-by-step tutorial provided by DaPa. -
The scope doesn't store the firmware permanently in flash or eeprom, it must be uploaded after each power-up and is kept in ram 'til power-down. If the scope was used with a different software (old openhantek, sigrok or the windows software) the scope must be unplugged and replugged one-time before using it with OpenHantek6022 to enable the automatic loading of the correct firmware. The top line of the program must display the correct firmware version (FW0210).
I use this project mainly to explore how DSP software can improve and extend the limitations of this kind of low level hardware. It would have been easy to spend a few bucks more to buy a powerful scope - but it would be much less fun :) Please refer also to the developer info.
We welcome any reported GitHub issue if you have a problem with this software. Send us a pull request for enhancements and fixes. Some random notes:
- Read how to properly contribute to open source projects on GitHub.
- Create a separate branch other than main for your changes. It is not possible to directly commit to main on this repository.
- Write good commit messages.
- Use the same coding style and spacing -> install clang-format and use make target:
make format
or execute directly:clang-format -style=file -i *.cpp *.h
. - It is mandatory that your commits are Signed-off-by:, e.g. use git's command line option
-s
to append it automatically to your commit message:git commit -s -m 'This is my good commit message'
- Open a pull request with a clear title and description.
- Read Add a new device if you want to know how to add a device.
- We recommend QtCreator as IDE on all platforms. It comes with CMake support, a decent compiler, and Qt out of the box.
- Firmware used by OpenHantek and python bindings for 6022BE/BL
- sigrok
- Software for the Hantek 6022BE/BL (win only)
- HScope for Android A one-channel basic version is available free of charge (with in-app purchases).
The program was initially developed by David Gräff and others on github.com/OpenHantek/openhantek, but David stopped maintaining the programm in December 2018.
