Re: Nanovna-saver swr display data out of range message


 

Update: Following on from Arie¡¯s email I found that the display was set to manual axes and once setting it to automatic on both axes the data is now being shown correctly.
Thanks for the tip off Arie!

Larry - I am going to follow up on your suggestion and investigate the alternative software.

I really only got the nanovna-H4 for its TDR measurement which annoyingly is not available on my Rigol DSA-815TG VNA but I am delighted with the ease of use of the nanovna-H4 - especially standalone for in the field measurements.

One thing I have yet to investigate is the use of averaging to improve the dynamic range and ability to see a deep notch in a cavity duplex filter but by all accounts it won¡¯t go down to -110db. Maybe a future hardware version will have less phase noise and higher output level and input pre-amplifier for this application but I¡¯m sure it will come at a higher price level owing to the design challenge.

I am very pleased with the nanovna and really appreciate the ongoing work of the HW, SW and FW developers of this little marvel as well as the help available on the forum.

?Have you tried right mouse click on the graph and then set the scales manually?

Hi - I¡¯m a new user and successfully loaded the latest version of Dislords firmware on a new Nanovna-H4 and installed the latest version of nanovna-saver on a W10 pc.
The nanovna-H4 worked a treat standalone on Ch0 on an antenna right after calibrating and saving in the range 50kHz to 900MHz.

I then successfully connected it to the PC SW and after calibrating over the 70cm band I successfully scanned the same antenna with good results displayed.
Unfortunately, while viewing the output swr plot I used the mouse wheel to see what effect it had and the frequency range shown on the graph changed but seemed to lock up at a low setting.
I re-scanned the antenna but this time I could not get the correct frequency range shown on the graph display with an error message warning data out of range. I re scanned with only SWR chosen in the display settings but same again.
I have tried in vain to get it working correctly since, including calibrating and scanning over 50kHz to 900MHz rather than the 70cm band.

I thought I¡¯d fire up the saver software again but it still comes up with the same message after scanning.
The two data columns seem to show that the scans ran successfully, it¡¯s just that the display fault shows every time with no swr plot and the frequency range stuck at a low setting.
Is it possible to reset the sw defaults and start again with any saved settings restored to default or is it a different problem?
The nanovna-H4 still works ok standalone and comes up with the correct calibration settings when switched on.

I have searched the forum for clues but found none that really helped.

Any help would be very welcome.

Thanks - John, EI1EM
