@ Peter I0YLI
hello peter, the merit is all who wrote the program, who designed the nanoVNA, the developers ..
We, as users, try to give the most correct feedback possible.
@All
I confirm that the program has no problems for me. There is probably some incompatibility with previous versions but this is resolved by deleting folder "NanoVNASaver" in:"users/AppData/Roaming/
In this way you have the "clean" program as if it were the first installation. At this point do the calibration, apply your preferences and you shouldn't have any more problems.

OH I did not see you asked me a question,
Sorry, no it did no work for me,
I tried that and it did not start, ha, you woke me up.
Thanks

Hi Jim I don't see where my program starts.

I haven't yet created a shortcut on the desktop or in the Menu for
nanovna-saver. So, I open a terminal in my home directory, then enter
these commands:

cd nanovna-saver

followed by:

python3.7 nanovna-saver.py


And away it goes! That do it for you?

It does not work on a fresh install of Mint 19.3 Cinnamon
I did notice that the WIKI no longer claims to be multi platform
but it states it will work with Linux SuSE , and you know I will go find
out.
These are the errors I get:

I can infer what some of these commands do
it is my hope that some one else will look at it and
say oh look, try this.

With that I am off to download SuSE
because some one thinks it will run with that OS?

No problem, Leif.
Have a look at my translated user guide in addition to the slides in the Presentation folder and also search the Wili and forum messages for Gunther's (spelling?) And Rudi's user guide links in German and English as well as ton of great info.?
There are now almost 10,000 messages since the group was created at the start of last June!!!!
This is one powerful and popular piece of equipment.?

I just signed on to report the same thing..
I had set my start and stop 144.0000Mhz to 148.000 and 2 sweeps... it exited and I couldn't read what was in the DOS BOX

Treid to do a calibrate ---same 144-148mhz... open, shorted, load, isolation and through It opened an error box and told me 2 calibrations open, short, load, isolation, through were the same at 144.0Mhz,

Advise - would workaround be to revert back to V0.2.1 ????

I often do a fresh install in VirtualBox for things like that.

Oops - wrong menu in prev mesg.
From the NnoVNA User manual I edit (in the files section):

Time domain operation
The NanoVNA can simulate time domain measurements by signal processing frequency domain data.
Select DISPLAY →TRANSOFRM →TRANSFORM ON to convert measurement data to the time domain. If TRANSFORM ON is enabled (Inverted white text on black background), the measurement data is immediately converted to the time domain and displayed.

Please make sure you've got the latest version of firmware from any of the developers in the forum.
There are links to the developer's release sites at the end of the user manual.

...Larry

Why do you have a 1000ps delay? It appears you're not in the TDR mode as I see frequency values at the bottom of the display.

If you get good results from NanovnaSaver, it's not the device.
Remember that the visual display interface GUI on the device is controlled independently from what goes over USB so you've probably set up either your gain or sweep settings incorrectly.
Please ensure you go to the DISPLAY? menu and select MORE... then enable TDR.
You should see start & stop in nS along the bottom of the Nano's LCD screen.

I can confirm, I cannot get a good TDR result from NanoVna now.

This seemed to work for me...

It would be nice to understand what is going on here before I do that.

There are now several new features. One seems to be scale for the delay. I have check this, so this may be no problem at all.

I have some 32cm teflon coax with an open end. I see no TDR from NanoVNA but I see a proper TDR from NanoVna_saver 0.22. Frequency settings seem to matter with TDR too. My frequency range was 50k-500M at first and TDR wasn't right. I wish to see TDR from Nano, because it has delay in seconds and not in meters.
I just updated my VNA to 0.54.
I attached a screen capture of delay from Nano.

Not really "all"...I had no clue that a missing driver was the problem: As a tech writer, a problem I encountered often when those who have a lot of experience leave out details needed by the less experienced. Interviewing the "Subject Mater Experts" often required several interviews to get to the meat of the requirements.

As a minimum, including a lead sentence or paragraph about when and why would be a help. Some key words included for searching too, e.g., Not connecting, missing drivers and etc.

Please refer to the Wiki and Files areas as they have a pile of very good reference material, posted by a number of forum members over the last 6 months. Cheers,Larry

My desk-top PC (laptop) has never had an external device connected to it.
Therefore no peripheral drivers have been installed. Might not be a problem in
general but it was with this old HP Win7 Pro.

When I attempted to connect the NanoVNA-H to the PC nothing happened!? Tried
a few things, posted some "need help" messages but nada.

Gyula Molnar, HA3HZ, came to my rescue.? He provided me with the information
and resources to find what was needed.

One source was STMicroelectroncs where I found and installed a version that
did the job. (VCP_V1.5.0_Setup_W7_x64_64bits.exe). SUCCESS!!

Nanovna-saver found the serial driver at COM4 and ran a scan using the
installed calibration (?) : Useless info as nothing was connected, but it
seemed to be working OK.? I've since connected a 4:1 Voltage BalUn, the input
to an adjusted ATU ( 50ohms?) and some filters of various configurations. The
BalUn looked really good scanned from 3.5 to 54 MHz.? I'll check it again
after doing the calibration. Not sure what the tuner results meant: Needs
further research...8^)

Many thanks to Gyula for the help; I'd have had no idea where to look for the
needed driver**.? ST also has versions for W8 which were also downloaded with
the Zip file.? Maybe someone else would have a use for the info.? There are
2 versions each in the Zip file, W7 and W8, of 32 and 64 bits.

** I tried Microsoft but not much help, maybe because Win7 is not longer
supported.

I second Larry's advice. There is a lot of invaluable information in the Wiki and Files sections that can save our members a lot of time and effort. This group members always seem to be willing to help with installation and new user questions, but a lot solutions have already been archived in the Wiki and Files sections.

Using Linux Mint 19.3 amd64 here.

Built 0.2.2alpha successfully on 15.12.19 using the instructions here...



Upgraded LM19.2 to LM19.3 on 19.12.19.

Now all versions 0.2.2 going back to 0.1.5 will not build with the same errors as reported in this thread i.e.

It seems to me...

- this is not a nanovna-saver problem
- something may have changed in PyQt5 since 15.12.19
- the upgrade from LM19.2 to LM19.3 may have broken something in the python3.7 installation.

However if I just do this into a clean directory...

$ git clone
$ python3.7 ./nanovna-saver/nanovna-saver.py

then nanovna-saver runs fine, with no "python3.7 -m pip install ."

Hi Rune,

I still find some strange things in the marker handling? :

1) I did a 2 port calibration? from 10kHz to? 1400MHz (and pressed "apply")

2) I filled all 9 marker-bars with different frequencies from 1MHz to 1400MHz

3) Then I did a sweep with CH0 connected to CH1 by a +/-30 cm long? RG316 cable, that was still connected to the VNA after the through calibration.

4) After this, the markers 1 up to included 5 on the data field were filled with data, the markers 6 up to included 9? were EMPTY. !

5) Marker 4 its color was grey so the tekst above the data field did not show up on the gray background.

6) I tried to change the color, but marker 4 does not accept the new color . (I tried several others and they did)

7) The markers 3 and 4 original frequencies that were set were overwritten both with 100.616536MHz (I had set marker 5 , to 100MHz)

I hope this is of help for this great program.

Kind regards

Jos
