Keysight U3606B software

Remote control and data logging for the Keysight U3606B multimeter, on Windows, Linux and macOS - with the same panel BenchMesh uses for every multimeter.

Awaiting confirmation

Status

Very likely. Support for the Keysight U3606B was written from Keysight’s programming manual and follows the same engine as the bench-tested instruments, but nobody has confirmed it on a real U3606B yet. If you own one, connecting it once and reporting the result moves it to Community-confirmed.
