Pulseview not opening, just opens, flashes and closes - Solution.

 Actual driver software and user interface software I used for the Hantexk 6022BL is the OEM supplied one and not SIGROK/SAELAE. This is because both SIGROK/SAELAE install their own windows USB drivers using ZADIG and stop the oscilloscope functionality of the 6022BL.

So acquire the logic data with OEM supplied Hantek software and save the output as CSV file. Be sure you have installed Hantek software in non OS drive so that it can write the required setup file during closing of the software after each use.

Then open the saved CSV file in the pulseview software for decoding. It will open after installation first time. But after viewing the CSV file and closing pulseview, when you attempt to open it the second time, pulseview briefly opens, GUI window flashes and closes. This is because it is searching for the compatible USB device, which is not there in the PC. So, as solution, to start the pulse view to open the CSV file, go to the command window in the pulseview installation directory and use pulseview.exe -c command to start pulseview. This will make   pulseview forget the past settings and make a fresh open. Good luck.
