Just my 2c. The easiest is to adapt some existing(past?) piece of
software that drives something similar.

As far as using the V-ID & P-ID, this might be similar to some of the
(recent) hacking to get various flatbed paper scanners working where it
was necessary to add an entry to udev(?)

As to software, it as to be about two decades ago when I saw a
presentation at a LUG of a PC driven Oscilloscope that was primarily to
run under Linux, It has since been released, but i do not know if the
software is FOSS.

Last suggestion is to trawl Github or similar repository for
software you could adapt,

And eevblog seems to be the place to go to find others attempts to use Linux.
Note the suggestion NOT to upload the firmware :)

Out of couriosity, I just websearched for openhantek, and found this fork: 

https://github.com/OpenHantek/OpenHantek6022/blob/master/readme.md 

There is some udev rule mentioned (which is the first thing I had thought of 
when readong your message) and probably a lot more useful information.

libre Grüße,
Florian

'modinfo ' should show you the firmware name and path (under 
/lib/firmware) that
the module expects.

Firmware file for the linux kernel usually reside in /lib/firmware. You
could try to copy your hex files there. Make sure to use proper name as
expected by kernel.

What do you need snapd for?

cheers,
