Tektronix AFG1062 software
Remote control and data logging for the Tektronix AFG1062 waveform generator, on Windows, Linux and macOS - with the same panel BenchMesh uses for every waveform generator.
Status
Very likely. Support for the Tektronix AFG1062 was written from Tektronix’s programming manual and follows the same engine as the bench-tested instruments, but nobody has confirmed it on a real AFG1062 yet. If you own one, connecting it once and reporting the result moves it to Community-confirmed.

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 Tektronix AFG1062?
- Very likely. Support for the Tektronix AFG1062 was written from Tektronix’s programming manual and follows the same engine as the bench-tested instruments, but nobody has confirmed it on a real AFG1062 yet. If you own one, connecting it once and reporting the result moves it to Community-confirmed.
- How do I connect the AFG1062 to my PC?
- Over USB-TMC. USB Test & Measurement Class (USB id 0699). 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 waveform generator by its reply and adds it to the bench.
- What can I control on the AFG1062?
- Waveform generator: set amplitude, frequency, offset, output, phase, shape; read ampl, freq, load, offs, output, phase, shape.
- Can I log AFG1062 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.
