Review: Hantek DDS 3X25. Anyone own one?

<< < (80/108) > >>

torch:
Ok, first thing I did was to compare the zip contents with what was in my Program Files(86)/Goltek Controller diretory. I noticed some additional files:

mbmputl.dll
mbmplop.dll
mbmpip.dll
soajpg.dll

I copied goltek.exe first, and it crashed as before. Then I started copying the other files, one at a time and deleting them after trial. Copying mbmputl.dll allows Goltek to start. (This is on the 64 bit Windows 7 computer, by the way).  I will now copy the rest of the files and verify that everything seems to be working on both computers then I will report back.

Thanks for all your time on this. Goltek is such a great improvement over the Hantek software!

By the way, I noticed three  extra files (tmarker.rgn rmarker.rgn lmarker.rgn) plus capture.exe in the folder. I assume they are part of the capture program?

Ok, with everything installed, it works, but I still cannot save the startup waveform using Goltek. I looked for those two files (DDS-3X25.sys and DDS3X25Dll.dll) in the Win 7 machine.

Switching to the XP machine, I found those two files in the Windows\system32\ folder. I also found a reference in the install log (from the Hantek software):

"Could not Self-Register: C:\Program Files\DDS-3X25 USB\driver\DDS-3X25.sys"

I overwrote everything in the Goltek program folder, uninstalled the Hantek software, reinstalled Hantek, then manually forced Windows to install the older drivers you provided.

I still can't get Goltek to save the startup waveform.

please PM me the specific symptom. is it when you clicked the "save wave at startup" any previous wave (at startup) got deleted and the device is not producing anything at startup? in anyway, sorry it wil be hard to tell since its working for my device. or if you really need the startup feature, you may just use Hantek software and dont use from goltek menu. since this is one time setup, it will seldom for you to switch between them for that feature, at least for me.

i didnt provide them in recent zip file, you must have downloaded it from my site, its capture program (+ its mask skins) for rigol ds1052e, another tool, but wont make any harm if in the same folder as goltek controller, but i suggest you put it in different folder to avoid mix up.

here's another delay combo for goltek. fyi introducing delay to each 3x25 command call will affect sweep mode speed. i dont keep version control, this unrelease ver only specifically try to quick fix your problem (i suspect your unit need delayed command to make it stable). so you have to track which file is which latest or older etc. cheers.

I can't get this one to save the waveform either. I don't know why.

And I discovered that while the Hantek software will load the captured waveform saved from Capture, it mangles it in the process. Aaargh!

Regardless, I owe thanks to Meccatrommer for his efforts to figure this out. Maybe there is something slightly different with the hardware of my 3x25 compared to his. Anyway, I've gone back to the earlier version to avoid any issues with the delay and will just have to use the 3x35 connected to a laptop for custom waveforms. It works very well like that and Goltek is soooo much nicer to use overall!
