TENMA 72-2710 software

Remote control and data logging for the TENMA 72-2710 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 TENMA 72-2710 was written from TENMA’s programming manual and follows the same engine as the bench-tested instruments, but nobody has confirmed it on a real 72-2710 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 TENMA 72-2710?
Very likely. Support for the TENMA 72-2710 was written from TENMA’s programming manual and follows the same engine as the bench-tested instruments, but nobody has confirmed it on a real 72-2710 yet. If you own one, connecting it once and reporting the result moves it to Community-confirmed.
How do I connect the 72-2710 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 72-2710?
Power supply: set current, ocp, output, ovp, voltage; read cc, cv, iout, output, pout, remote, sby, vout.
Can I log 72-2710 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.
