GW Instek GDS-1054B software
Remote control and data logging for the GW Instek GDS-1054B oscilloscope, on Windows, Linux and macOS - with the same panel BenchMesh uses for every oscilloscope.
Status
Very likely. Support for the GW Instek GDS-1054B was written from GW Instek’s programming manual and follows the same engine as the bench-tested instruments, but nobody has confirmed it on a real GDS-1054B yet. If you own one, connecting it once and reporting the result moves it to Community-confirmed.

Connections
- USB-serial / RS-232
- 115200 baud, 8N1. Plug in the USB cable (or a USB-RS-232 adapter); BenchMesh finds the port.
- LAN (SCPI socket)
- TCP port 3000. Enter the instrument’s IP address.
Notes
- To confirm on first contactThe socket server has no default port in the guide: give host:port when adding it.

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 GW Instek GDS-1054B?
- Very likely. Support for the GW Instek GDS-1054B was written from GW Instek’s programming manual and follows the same engine as the bench-tested instruments, but nobody has confirmed it on a real GDS-1054B yet. If you own one, connecting it once and reporting the result moves it to Community-confirmed.
- How do I connect the GDS-1054B to my PC?
- Over USB-serial / RS-232 or LAN (SCPI socket). 115200 baud, 8N1. Plug in the USB cable (or a USB-RS-232 adapter); BenchMesh finds the port. Then press Detect in BenchMesh: it identifies the oscilloscope by its reply and adds it to the bench.
- What can I control on the GDS-1054B?
- Oscilloscope: set acquire type, bwlimit, coupling, display, invert, offset, probe, run; read acq type, bwlimit, coupling, display, freq, invert, offset, probe.
- Can I log GDS-1054B 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.
