Installation on Windows

[Ho-Ro]

This should bring the discussion to the right repo - combining OpenHantek/OpenHantek6022#83 and OpenHantek/openhantek#213
I would like to gather your experience to get an easy step-by-step Windows installation guide.

I wasn't aware of those calibration hints - thank you for the link!
It's been some struggle for me with zero Python experience, but I got it working eventually.
Just in case someone else ever wants to calibrate his/her Hantek 6022BE on a Windows 10 machine, here is what I did:
install Python3
get the required libusb-1.0.dll file:
download the v1.0.23 zip from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb/files/libusb-1.0/libusb-1.0.23/
extract libusb-1.0.dll from the zip file into {Python install dir}/
(where python.exe sits)

I think that libusb should be installed correctly, so the file `libusb-1.0.dll' is in a globally accessible directory. Not sure if Zadig could help here?

prepare Hantek6022API:

git clone https://github.com/Ho-Ro/Hantek6022API
cd Hantek6022API
pip install .

when I tried to run the calibration at this point, Python complained about missing firmware files.
I could solve this by copying the whole Hantek6022API\PyHT6022\HantekFirmware folder to
{Python install dir}\Lib\site-packages\PyHT6022\HantekFirmware

I made some changes to the firmware directories with e497692 - after installing on my bare-bone virtual W7 the FW files were available, but due to problems with the virtual installation I could not check the USB installation/communication. I would appreciate it if someone could check on a real W7 and W10.

run the calibration:

cd examples
calibrate_6022.py -gec

I was then able to calibrate the scope providing the given voltages.
All works perfectly fine now and voltage readings are nicely accurate.
Again, many many thanks for your work! :-)

A big thank you to @justlep and @Maddo534 for testing!

You can also use the libusb-1.0.dll file from the
libusb-1.0 version
that is provided by OpenHantek6022.
The libusb-1.0.dll file should be found in the PATH, e.g. it could be in the python.exe directory or together with the example programs in the same directory.

YMMV, I checked it only with a bare-bones virtual Win7 install under Debian, but this time with a working USB forwarding.

I just checked with a fresh Python3 installation on (non-virtual) Windows 7 and libusb-1.0.dll from the OpenHantek6022 folder copied into the Python install dir.

It did work immediately - no more need to copy the firmware folder around.

Very nice! Thank you!
