I can see there's info relating to this scattered all over the place, but much seems conflicting, and I'm hoping to nail this down (once and for all?)

I have a new 6022BL unit. It came with a normal USB cable (not the double plug extra power type some folks describe). Setting up with standard Windows 7. I have not used the supplied CD. I downloaded the 6022BL app package which included drivers. Installation of everything seemed OK. The app is version 1.04.

When I plugged in the unit for the first time I saw a normal driver install sequence -- it sounded like more than one driver was installed. Button on back of unit is pushed in. Red light is blinking.

So far, I haven't been able to see any signal at all on the app. When I try use the load defaults function, the app usually crashes shortly thereafter.

Win7 device manager shows the Hantek driver as working -- it shows a single DRIVER 2 entry.

I also downloaded the 6022BL standalone driver from the Hantek site and updated the device driver in the usual manner using that driver successfully. No obvious changes -- still blinking red, no signal displayed.

Bottom line: I'm not sure what's going on here, and in fact suspect I may be overlooking something obvious.

For example:

I've seen conflicting descriptions on what the blinking red light means. When should it blink red? When should it blink green? When should I go get a drink?

Is there some obvious aspect of the application software setup that I may be missing?

What is the correct position for the button on the back of the unit? I have it pressed in. The manual simply says "press in" for Hantek software. From another source I saw a reference that suggested that with the button OUT the logic analyzer side would work with Saleae software. Is this correct?

More importantly, how can I determine for sure whether this unit is operational or not, whether I have the drivers installed properly or not, or whether I am using the application correctly for a simple GO/NO GO initial test?

Thanks very much!

Got it going. Took some driver manipulations but finally got them loaded correctly. Ya' know, I see folks kinda bitching about this unit, and maybe it's just that I'm old enough to remember what stuff used to cost, but for 80 bucks (this is a BL unit with the logic analyzer function also), this seems (for what it's designed to do) to be a pretty damned nice piece of kit.

Thanks again!
