KORAD KA3303P software
Remote control and data logging for the KORAD KA3303P power supply, on Windows, Linux and macOS - with the same panel BenchMesh uses for every power supply.
Status
Very likely. Support for the KORAD KA3303P was written from KORAD’s programming manual and follows the same engine as the bench-tested instruments, but nobody has confirmed it on a real KA3303P yet. If you own one, connecting it once and reporting the result moves it to Community-confirmed.
Note: 2 programmable channels (+ fixed 5 V); output, OCP and OVP are global
What you can do from BenchMesh
Power supply panel 2 channels

- CC
- CV
- IOUT
- OUTPUT
- POUT
- REMOTE
- SBY
- VOUT
Settings you can change
- Current
- Ocp
- Output
- Ovp
- Voltage
Connections
- USB-serial / RS-232
- 9600 baud, 8N1. Plug in the USB cable (or a USB-RS-232 adapter); BenchMesh finds the port.
Notes
- Known issueLibraries pace commands at 50-100 ms (450 ms on Velleman PS3005D V1.3); we use 20-50 ms.

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 KORAD KA3303P?
- Very likely. Support for the KORAD KA3303P was written from KORAD’s programming manual and follows the same engine as the bench-tested instruments, but nobody has confirmed it on a real KA3303P yet. If you own one, connecting it once and reporting the result moves it to Community-confirmed.
- How do I connect the KA3303P to my PC?
- Over USB-serial / RS-232. 9600 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 power supply by its reply and adds it to the bench.
- What can I control on the KA3303P?
- Power supply: set current, ocp, output, ovp, voltage; read cc, cv, iout, output, pout, remote, sby, vout.
- Can I log KA3303P 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.
