KORAD PS3005D software
Remote control and data logging for the KORAD PS3005D power supply, on Windows, Linux and macOS - with the same panel BenchMesh uses for every power supply.
Status
Very likely. Support for the KORAD PS3005D 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 PS3005D yet. If you own one, connecting it once and reporting the result moves it to Community-confirmed.
Note: Velleman PS3005D/LABPS3005D (Korad KA3005P inside). sigrok needs ~450 ms extra per request on firmware V1.3; LABPS3005DN ('QJE3005P') speaks a different dialect

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 PS3005D?
- Very likely. Support for the KORAD PS3005D 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 PS3005D yet. If you own one, connecting it once and reporting the result moves it to Community-confirmed.
- How do I connect the PS3005D 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 PS3005D?
- Power supply: set current, ocp, output, ovp, voltage; read cc, cv, iout, output, pout, remote, sby, vout.
- Can I log PS3005D 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.
