Building OpenHantek from source

You need the following software, to build OpenHantek from source:

We have build instructions available for Linux, Apple MacOSX and Microsoft Windows.

Run OpenHantek

You need an OpenGL 3.2+ or OpenGL ES 2.0+ capable graphics hardware for OpenHantek. OpenGL is prefered, if available. Overwrite this behaviour by starting OpenHantek from the command line like this: OpenHantek --useGLES.

USB access for the device is required:

  • As seen on the Microsoft Windows build instructions page, you need a special driver for Windows systems.
  • On Linux, you need to copy the file firmware/60-hantek.rules to /lib/udev/rules.d/ and replug your device.
