GW Instek GSP-9330 software

Remote control and data logging for the GW Instek GSP-9330 spectrum analyzer, on Windows, Linux and macOS - with the same panel BenchMesh uses for every spectrum analyzer.

Awaiting confirmation

Status

Very likely. Support for the GW Instek GSP-9330 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 GSP-9330 yet. If you own one, connecting it once and reporting the result moves it to Community-confirmed.

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.

Over USB-serial / RS-232 or USB-TMC. 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 spectrum analyzer by its reply and adds it to the bench.
What can I control on the GSP-9330?
Spectrum analyzer: set atten auto, attenuation, center, detector, full span, marker, marker freq, peak search; read atten, atten auto, center, detector, marker, marker freq, marker level, points.
Can I log GSP-9330 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.
