The firmware commands (most of them) are documented in a pdf file called

NanoVNA_Console_Commands_Dec 9-19.pdf which can be found on the groups.io nanovna website.
/g/nanovna-users/files


Generally, the firmware will respond to a help command to give a list of them all.

Yes there is in the Files section of this group.

But that probably does not interests majority of users....

Yes count me as one of those not interested.

It appears the formatting foe is JUNO, itself, i.e., composing emails on the website and sending from there.

This is composed on the groups website.

To repeat:

My comptriots and Elmers,

The Author of the formatting debacle, though into the silver sneakers domain, has yet to contrract, or develop, any chronic diseases and/or disorders. Id say more victim of cruel fate, when need to be understood was maximum.

If you'd like to be privy to my secrets for a health-span, matching your life-span, 1, crimp-on, PL-259 or a picture of the first distaff Ham, will bring you as close to immortality, as humanly possible.

I cant begin to fathom what happened or where. All I can say is JUNO is always replete with werird characters but they do not despoil formatting into "to hell with this".



I apologize, by proxy, for whom or what was responsible.

On other lists, I've found it sometimes due to the specific mail client and in one case has to do with creating HTML mail where the line breaks were <br> not <p> and somewhere along the line, the <br> get stripped out.
In another case it was where the lines were being composed on a very skinny window, and the "end of line" happened to line up with the edge of the window (along with other "as displayed" breaks that weren't sent), so the person composing the mail didn't realize there were no line breaks - it looked ok on their end. They had inserted line breaks to separate paragraphs, but those got stripped out as superfluous for some reason.

Phil, why are you concerned about a specific port number? The port numbers
can change, and update when you plug in a device. They do commonly stay
the same if you plug the same device into the same port, but can change
under various circumstances. You should (with computer and nanoVNA on),
and device manager open, unplug the nanoVNA USB cable, wait a few seconds,
then plug it back in. When you unplug, a USB port should
disappear/deactivate, unless it didn't register originally for some reason
(note that it takes Windows a few seconds to scan and update the device
list). When you plug back in, a USB port should appear/activate - use
whichever port number that is. It should be labeled starting with "STM
...". If there is a little yellow triangle by the new port that appears,
the correct driver may not be loaded. If no port appears, something else
is wrong. First, try another known good cable. Yes, those USB cables are
very prone to error and malfunctioning connectors - so try this first, even
though you think your cable is fine. If it still doesn't work, look in
device manager's USB Controllers section and see if the port is appearing
there - that's where you will see it if the nano is in the firmware update
mode. If it doesn't appear either place, something may be wrong with your
nanoVNA.

For some reason, there were no line breaks in your message. Was it via email, or the web client, or what?

Hi guys & gals, For everyone who has replied, to me, before, this If this none doesnt test your computer, Com Port mettle, nothing will. I just UNinstalled all Com Ports; devices not drivers. I shut-down the system, plugged-in - via USB - rig, hub for ham sftwr, NanoVna, directly into the computer, i.e., NO hubs [the hub for Ham sftwr is in a computer, rear, USB port] Upon booting, the Ports displayed - Device Mgr - were 3, 5 & 6 {4 & 7 are missing, now} One port is Enhanced, one Standard; before, I had 2 sets of Enhanced & Standard. I GOOGLEd how to install NEW Com Ports and the instructions were click on the TARGET DEVICE. ADD means to provide a brand-new, not already present thing. WSJT and HRD are working perfectly, one on 5, the other mon 6. Experimenting, I opened PROPERTIES > Port Settings > Advanced and tried adding Port - well, it was only for the "name" of the Port. Ports already in use said IN USE. ONE OF THE PORTS IN USE was Port 8! The port previously used by Nanovna-saver but NOT appearing in DM, now, even for hidden ports. Since neither SAVER nor APP, work and 8 does not appear in any drop-down list, wither goest Port 8???????????????????????????????? USBDeview shows the following for Porty 8: Port_#0005.Hub_#0001 USB to UART Adapter Communication No Yes No No COM8 DEMO 12/16/2022 3:24:57 PM 12/12/2022 3:21:52 PM 04b4 0008 0.01 02 02 01 WF3W CypressSerial @oem5.inf,%CypressPort%;VIRTUALCOMPORT CypressUsbConsoleWindowsDriver64.sys A~ Cypress USB to UART Adapter 3.13.0.59 CypressUsb.NTamd64 oem5.inf USB\VID_04B4&PID_0008\DEMO Removable, UniqueID, SurpriseRemovalOK
When I clicked-on Port 8, I got: USB-to-UART Adapter Communication NOT connected Safe to unplug NOT disbaled NO USB Hub and DEMO as serial #.I got this as an "error" msg: NirSoft Freeware, the URL and >> USB.IDS is not loaded As an aside, howe DOES one, add a new Com Port? But if 8 is being used, do I need to do this? My only consolation is the pizza I took-home, from last night's PackRat [Mt AIry VHF Club] XMAS feast. Couldnt understand why this crowd is so huge, only in Dec meetings... Thanks for any and all help. Ive "met" some mighty, unique Hams.

And this is why I'm not so wild about videos as "reference material". A video is great for a demonstration of how to do something. I just disassembled and regreased my Kitchenaid mixer, and frankly, seeing someone else do it made it a lot easier. The written instructions say something like "apply sufficient grease" - seeing someone do it tells you a lot more. But a video to tell me how to install software, entirely from the command line? 1 page of cut and paste from the screen would have met the need, I didn't need to hear someone talking about "now I'm entering the sudo pip install numpy command" and watching them type on the screen.

Anyone thinking of printing out this file, I just finished printing in a booklet form.... 2 pages per 8-1/2 x 11 sheet both sides and it was reproduced quite clearly and very readable using only 19 sheets of paper.? Folding and stapling takes a little manual effort.??
