FeelTech FY6900-20M software

Remote control and data logging for the FeelTech FY6900-20M waveform generator, on Windows, Linux and macOS - with the same panel BenchMesh uses for every waveform generator.

Awaiting confirmation

Status

Very likely. Support for the FeelTech FY6900-20M was written from FeelTech’s programming manual and follows the same engine as the bench-tested instruments, but nobody has confirmed it on a real FY6900-20M yet. If you own one, connecting it once and reporting the result moves it to Community-confirmed.

115200 baud, 8N2. Plug in the USB cable (or a USB-RS-232 adapter); BenchMesh finds the port.

Notes

  • Known issueThe frequency write unit (µHz or Hz) depends on the firmware version; CH2 not yet supported.

Have one on your bench?

Connect it, press Detect, try the controls - then tell us how it went. Every confirmation moves a model from “Awaiting” to “Community-confirmed” for everyone.

Questions

Does BenchMesh work with the FeelTech FY6900-20M?
Very likely. Support for the FeelTech FY6900-20M was written from FeelTech’s programming manual and follows the same engine as the bench-tested instruments, but nobody has confirmed it on a real FY6900-20M yet. If you own one, connecting it once and reporting the result moves it to Community-confirmed.
How do I connect the FY6900-20M to my PC?
Over USB-serial / RS-232. 115200 baud, 8N2. Plug in the USB cable (or a USB-RS-232 adapter); BenchMesh finds the port. Then press Detect in BenchMesh: it identifies the waveform generator by its reply and adds it to the bench.
What can I control on the FY6900-20M?
Waveform generator: set amplitude, frequency, offset, output, phase, shape; read ampl, freq, offs, output, phase, shape.
Can I log FY6900-20M measurements to CSV?
Yes. Right-click any reading to add it to a recording; every instrument on the bench is sampled on one shared timeline and exported as one CSV.
Is BenchMesh free?
Yes. BenchMesh is free and open source, for Windows, Linux and macOS, and works offline.
