RIGOL DM858 software
Remote control and data logging for the RIGOL DM858 multimeter, on Windows, Linux and macOS - with the same panel BenchMesh uses for every multimeter.
Awaiting confirmation
Status
Very likely. Support for the RIGOL DM858 was written from RIGOL’s programming manual and follows the same engine as the bench-tested instruments, but nobody has confirmed it on a real DM858 yet. If you own one, connecting it once and reporting the result moves it to Community-confirmed.
