RIGOL DSA875-TG software
Remote control and data logging for the RIGOL DSA875-TG spectrum analyzer, on Windows, Linux and macOS - with the same panel BenchMesh uses for every spectrum analyzer.
Status
Very likely. Support for the RIGOL DSA875-TG 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 DSA875-TG yet. If you own one, connecting it once and reporting the result moves it to Community-confirmed.

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 RIGOL DSA875-TG?
- Very likely. Support for the RIGOL DSA875-TG 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 DSA875-TG yet. If you own one, connecting it once and reporting the result moves it to Community-confirmed.
- How do I connect the DSA875-TG to my PC?
- Over USB-TMC or LAN (SCPI socket). USB Test & Measurement Class (USB id 1ab1). No vendor driver needed on Linux; on Windows BenchMesh installs Microsoft’s WinUSB driver with one click. Then press Detect in BenchMesh: it identifies the spectrum analyzer by its reply and adds it to the bench.
- What can I control on the DSA875-TG?
- Spectrum analyzer: set atten auto, attenuation, center, detector, full span, marker, marker freq, peak search; read atten, atten auto, center, detector, marker, marker freq, marker level, points.
- Can I log DSA875-TG 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.
