Aim-TTi CPX400DP software

Remote control and data logging for the Aim-TTi CPX400DP 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 Aim-TTi CPX400DP was written from Aim-TTi’s programming manual and follows the same engine as the bench-tested instruments, but nobody has confirmed it on a real CPX400DP yet. If you own one, connecting it once and reporting the result moves it to Community-confirmed.

Note: Entering remote resets both PowerFlex ranges to 60V/20A (p.16)

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 Aim-TTi CPX400DP?
Very likely. Support for the Aim-TTi CPX400DP was written from Aim-TTi’s programming manual and follows the same engine as the bench-tested instruments, but nobody has confirmed it on a real CPX400DP yet. If you own one, connecting it once and reporting the result moves it to Community-confirmed.
How do I connect the CPX400DP to my PC?
Over USB-serial / RS-232 or LAN (SCPI socket). 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 CPX400DP?
Power supply: set current, current limit, output, voltage, voltage limit; read iout, output, pout, remote, sby, vout.
Can I log CPX400DP 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.
