KORAD KEL103 software
Remote control and data logging for the KORAD KEL103 electronic load, on Windows, Linux and macOS - with the same panel BenchMesh uses for every electronic load.
Status
Very likely. Support for the KORAD KEL103 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 KEL103 yet. If you own one, connecting it once and reporting the result moves it to Community-confirmed.
Note: Also RND 320-KEL103

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 KEL103?
- Very likely. Support for the KORAD KEL103 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 KEL103 yet. If you own one, connecting it once and reporting the result moves it to Community-confirmed.
- How do I connect the KEL103 to my PC?
- Over USB-serial / RS-232. 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 electronic load by its reply and adds it to the bench.
- What can I control on the KEL103?
- Electronic load: set curr, input, mode, pow, remote, remote compensation, res, volt; read iin, input, mode, pin, remote, vin.
- Can I log KEL103 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.
