UNI-T · Waveform generator
UNI-T UTG4000A software
Remote control and data logging for the UNI-T UTG4000A waveform generator, on Windows, Linux and macOS - with the same panel BenchMesh uses for every waveform generator.
Status
Very likely. Support for the UNI-T UTG4000A was written from UNI-T’s programming manual and follows the same engine as the bench-tested instruments, but nobody has confirmed it on a real UTG4000A yet. If you own one, connecting it once and reporting the result moves it to Community-confirmed.
Note: IDN reports the family (UTG4000); limits of the largest model (UTG4202A)
What you can do from BenchMesh
Waveform generator panel 2 channels
Live readings
- AMPL
- FREQ
- LOAD
- OFFS
- OUTPUT
- PHASE
- SHAPE
- SYMM
Settings you can change
- Amplitude
- Frequency
- Offset
- Output
- Phase
- Shape
- Symmetry
Connections
- USB-TMC
- USB Test & Measurement Class. No vendor driver needed on Linux; on Windows BenchMesh installs Microsoft’s WinUSB driver with one click.
- LAN (VXI-11 / LXI)
- Discovered through the portmapper, no port to enter. Enter the instrument’s IP address.
Notes
- To confirm on first contactLAN works through VXI-11 (no raw socket): supported, not yet confirmed on hardware.

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 UNI-T UTG4000A?
- Very likely. Support for the UNI-T UTG4000A was written from UNI-T’s programming manual and follows the same engine as the bench-tested instruments, but nobody has confirmed it on a real UTG4000A yet. If you own one, connecting it once and reporting the result moves it to Community-confirmed.
- How do I connect the UTG4000A to my PC?
- Over USB-TMC or LAN (VXI-11 / LXI). USB Test & Measurement Class. 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 UTG4000A?
- Waveform generator: set amplitude, frequency, offset, output, phase, shape, symmetry; read ampl, freq, load, offs, output, phase, shape, symm.
- Can I log UTG4000A 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.
