Siglent SDL1020X-E software

Remote control and data logging for the Siglent SDL1020X-E 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 Siglent SDL1020X-E was written from Siglent’s programming manual and follows the same engine as the bench-tested instruments, but nobody has confirmed it on a real SDL1020X-E yet. If you own one, connecting it once and reporting the result moves it to Community-confirmed.

Over USB-TMC or LAN (SCPI socket). USB Test & Measurement Class (USB id f4ec). 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 electronic load by its reply and adds it to the bench.
What can I control on the SDL1020X-E?
Electronic load: set curr, input, mode, pow, remote compensation, res, short, volt; read iin, input, mode, pin, vin.
Can I log SDL1020X-E 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.
