Hi WB2UAQ and Oristo,
Thank you both for your response.
To begin with my Firmware spec of the NanoVna-H 4, I have version 0.5.0, Build time Feb 21 2020.
Before any cal I pressed RESET.
I have done three One Port calibrations in the following order:
1.??? OPEN-SHORT-LOAD -> result CAL OK
2.??? LOAD-OPEN-SHORT -> result CAL OK
3.??? OPEN-LOAD-SHORT -> result CAL OK
With "CAL OK" I mean that I have checked the measuring points of the SHORT, OPEN and LOAD in the Smith Chart.
As soon as a Cal Component Button is pressed then the text is reverse highlighted (text on black background), so I now understand that you can exactly see what you have pressed.
To put it to the test during the calibration I have deliberately mounted the SHORT to port 1 (CH0) and pressed the OPEN button.
So also pressing the SHORT button after mounting the OPEN.
As a result when connected the SHORT the dot was concentrated to the far right of the Smith chart.
My conclusion is that it makes no sense of the order in which you may use the cal components as long as you press the right button, so I suppose that the order does not matter.
Now I am anxious to the thought behind the green colored button below the button you had just pressed in the CAL menu during calibration.

If the nano follows the HP network analyzers, it doesn't matter what the order is until after DONE is pushed.....even if you did one of the conditions over again.
Does it matter with the nano?
