Re: Display impedance as X + Yj?
Hi Hernan
One more comment, Save the settings under 1 to 4 after calibration then these trace setting are memorized for later use Recall 0 to get back to default trace setting Kind regards Kurt -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: [email protected] <[email protected]> P? vegne af Hern¨¢n Freschi Sendt: 14. april 2020 19:39 Til: [email protected] Emne: [nanovna-users] Display impedance as X + Yj? How can I display the complex impedance of my antenna with NanoVNA? I'm using NanoVNA-H firmware on HW rev 3.2 In the display I can see something like X ohms + Y farads/henries. If I use NanoVNA-saver I can see this format when doing a sweep. I need to climb to my roof and make a few measurements today, so I'd like to avoid taking a laptop up there. Thanks |
Re: Display impedance as X + Yj?
Hi Hernan
If not too late (you may have already been climbing to the roof) you select e.g. trace 1 then got to format/more and select Resistance. Then enable e.g trace 2 and got to format/more and select Reactance. The toy have the complex impedance. You might need to scale the trace 1 and 2 undr Scal/Scale/Div Kind regards Kurt -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: [email protected] <[email protected]> P? vegne af Hern¨¢n Freschi Sendt: 14. april 2020 19:39 Til: [email protected] Emne: [nanovna-users] Display impedance as X + Yj?

C++ Runtime Library Error on NanoVNA-QT
Hi all,
I just practiced NanoVNA-QT program under Win7 and also Linux. The program works fine until I tried to load a .CAL file just generated after calibration. Its not possible to load any .CAL file. If this is tried under Linux the program closed without any error message. Similar under Windows but there I got this error message: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library: "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusable way. Please contact the applications support team etc.....etc." Anybody any idea? Regards Peter |

So I wouldn't generalize about all the USB cables shipped with the NanoVNA. I do agree that Paul may have received a defective USB cable and his first troubleshooting step should be to substitute a known working cable. After that he needs to provide more info, because Linux and Windows 10 typically will detect the NanoVNA without requiring manual driver installation, but Windows XP and 7 need the serial port driver to be user installed. - Herb |

Re: Expand calibration slot count from 5 to 7
You mean changing the memory map to give more space to calibration data and less to code?
Or to remove the frequency table from the stored data as this can be recalculated? Or check if the isolation correction contains only noise so it can be removed? Or something else? -- NanoVNA Wiki: /g/nanovna-users/wiki/home NanoVNA Files: /g/nanovna-users/files Erik, PD0EK |

Would it be possible to use a NanoVNA and a RTL-SDR dongle for IF alignment of AM and FM receivers?
h. garcia
Hi everyone!
I was checking Jim's video () on how to align radios (both the LO span and FI output) using a RTL-SDR usb dongle.On the video, he uses an EICO frequency generator. I was wondering the if a Nano-VNA could act as the frequency generator for alignment of AM and FM that tipically use 455KHz and 10.7MHz intermediate frequencies. Would Nano-VNA have the hardware and firmware needed for this task (adjustable output level, generate AM and FM signals)? if I recall correctly from other forums I visited, only the AM signal is really necessary for aligning AM radios, and an approximation could be generated with two carriers a few hundred hertz apart; the FM FI and detector seems accept CW for its calibration.. Comments and ideas are very wecome! |
Expand calibration slot count from 5 to 7
One slot for calibration requires a lot of space. 5 tables of 101 points for 2 channels of 4 bytes each value + another table for frequencies of 101 points and 4 bytes each (and round off at 0x800 border due to the peculiarities of rewriting flash processor) 4040 + 404 + a couple of bytes of additional information
Total one slot for calibration takes 0x00001800 (or 6 kilobytes, 5 tables + 2 kilobytes config = 32 kilobytes there is a slot for settings) If you exclude the table for frequencies (they can be calc if necessary, but more difficult), then you can fit in the size 0x1000 (4096) and this will make it possible to store 7 calibration tables. But it is necessary to significantly change the code Excluding the frequency table was the first thought for expanding the memory size, but I managed to solve it by optimizing the code now for the code about 24 kilobytes of memory are still free (you can add 2-3 more slots, but it¡¯s easier to optimize the configuration structure itself and throw out the frequencies). Who can implements that? |
Re: Use NanoVNA to Evaluate Unlabeled Toroids?
Alex Auerbach K6AUR (818) 522-1640
Thank you and the other folks for responding to my query. As your question suggests, I have a very low level of technical background, and I would need to do my homework to learn how to interpret the results displayed on my NanoVNA in this context -- just as i did when first using it to measure antenna SWR, etc. But with the guidance above, including yours, I am more than willing to look for the information, both online and from ham elmers I know who have amazing reservoirs of knowledge and willingness to teach. Of course it would be a lot easier to simply buy a toroid, but I like the idea of exercising this (quite aged) grey cells.
