RIGOL DP711 software

Remote control and data logging for the RIGOL DP711 power supply, on Windows, Linux and macOS - with the same panel BenchMesh uses for every power supply.

Awaiting confirmation

Status

Very likely. Support for the RIGOL DP711 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 DP711 yet. If you own one, connecting it once and reporting the result moves it to Community-confirmed.

Note: 30 V/5 A (settable 32 V/5.3 A, OVP 33 V, OCP 5.5 A)

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 RIGOL DP711?
Very likely. Support for the RIGOL DP711 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 DP711 yet. If you own one, connecting it once and reporting the result moves it to Community-confirmed.
How do I connect the DP711 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 DP711?
Power supply: set current, current limit, ocp, output, ovp, remote, voltage, voltage limit; read cc, cv, fail, iout, ocp, output, ovp, pout.
Can I log DP711 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.
