OWON OEL8511C software

Remote control and data logging for the OWON OEL8511C electronic load, on Windows, Linux and macOS - with the same panel BenchMesh uses for every electronic load.

Awaiting confirmation

Status

Very likely. Support for the OWON OEL8511C was written from OWON’s programming manual and follows the same engine as the bench-tested instruments, but nobody has confirmed it on a real OEL8511C yet. If you own one, connecting it once and reporting the result moves it to Community-confirmed.

Note: OEL85 series uses a different programming manual; unverified with this definition

Questions

Does BenchMesh work with the OWON OEL8511C?
Very likely. Support for the OWON OEL8511C was written from OWON’s programming manual and follows the same engine as the bench-tested instruments, but nobody has confirmed it on a real OEL8511C yet. If you own one, connecting it once and reporting the result moves it to Community-confirmed.
How do I connect the OEL8511C 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 OEL8511C?
Electronic load: set curr, input, mode, pow, remote, remote compensation, res, short; read iin, input, mode, ocp, opp, ovp, pin, remote.
Can I log OEL8511C 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.
