The Korad KAxxxxP series are 1 channel switch-mode programmable power supplies with both USB/serial and RS232 connectivity.

The devices are also sold as rebranded versions by e.g. Velleman, Tenma/Farnell, Stamos, or RND.

Note: The libsigrok korad-kaxxxxp driver needs to know about the device's ID (the response to the *IDN? command, see below). If you have a device which is not yet listed in the driver, please let us know.

Note: Some versions of the Velleman PS3005D appear to use the Atten PPS3000 series protocol instead of the Korad protocol described below.

Protocol

The protocol is serial (actual RS232 and serial-over-USB is supported by the devices), 9600/8N1, (almost fully) ASCII based. No line termination, CRC or checksum characters are used. The PC sends a request string which the power supply then responds to.

During a PC connection, the front control buttons and the scrollwheel are blocked.

Request Example output Remarks
*IDN? KORADKA3005PV2.0 Request identification from device. See also the full list of recognized IDs in libsigrok in the models[] array.
STATUS? (byte) Request the actual status. The output is a single byte with the actual status encoded in bits. At least the Velleman PS3005D V2.0 is a bit buggy here. The only reliable bits are: 0x40 (Output mode: 1:on, 0:off), 0x20 (OVP and/or OCP mode: 1:on, 0:off) and 0x01 (CV/CC mode: 1:CV, 0:CC).
VSET1? 12.34 Request the voltage as set by the user.
VSET1:12.34 (none) Set the maximum output voltage.
VOUT1? 12.34 Request the actual voltage output.
ISET1? 0.125 Request the current as set by the user. See notes below for a firmware bug related to this command.
ISET1:0.125 (none) Set the maximum output current.
IOUT1? 0.125 Request the actual output current.
OUT1 (none) Enable the power output.
OUT0 (none) Disable the power output.
OVP1 (none) Enable the "Over Voltage Protection", the PS will switch off the output when the voltage rises above the actual level.
OVP0 (none) Disable the "Over Voltage Protection".
OCP1 (none) Enable the "Over Current Protection", the PS will switch off the output when the current rises above the actual level.
OCP0 (none) Disable the "Over Current Protection".
TRACK0 (none) Set multichannel mode, 0 independent, 1 series, 2 parallel (from Velleman protocol v1.3 documentation).
RCL1 (none) Recalls voltage and current limits from memory, 1 to 5 (from Velleman protocol v2.0 documentation).
SAV1 (none) Saves voltage and current limits to memory, 1 to 5 (from Velleman protocol v2.0 documentation).

Remarks:

  1. The digit 1 in the V... and I... requests indicates the values are meant for channel one. In future (or "higher"?) models this may be two for a second channel and so on.
  2. Voltage ("00.00" to "31.00" V) and current ("0.000" to "5.100" A) output values have a fixed length with fixed dot position. The values won't become negative.
  3. ISET1? replies with a sixth byte on many models (all?) which is the sixth character from *IDN? reply if *IDN? was queried before (during same power cycle). This byte is read and discarded by sigrok. As reported by Jordi Castells / kxtells this behaviour seems to happen only on protocol version 2.0, but not in 2.1.
