Hi Larry and in3elx.

Larry he is not repeating himself he is editing his post. But he is
doing it with the web interface of the group.

You on the other side are using the email fonction of the group and
every time in3elx edit his post you receive a new email of his edited
post.

That is why you see [Edited Message Follows] into his messages.

hope this helps.

What problem I do you create? Is this your etiquette/ham spirit?
This is a forum, those who want to help help me maybe they will, those who don't want to help me can read other things.
Good night. Thanks again.

Hi neb40gsm,
me too I would like to try your software.
Thank you in advance.

Re: Annotated nanoVNA menu diagram

 

Hi Stan -

I think the latest one looks pretty nice.
It is more compact, which may help on smaller screens.

I think you're doing terrific for not being too familiar with the programming you're using.
Anyone with time and Internet search can do it.

And remember, there's no way to make everybody happy...
My goal is minimizing unhappiness.
VNA is conceptually pretty simple, IMO,
but acronyms and esoteric naming provoke difficulties.

Traditional menus obscure too much.
Ideally, one could mouse with menu map:
* hover briefly for hints
* right-click for more help
* left click to execute.

.. but
* CSS hover does not work for mobile devices
- tested mouse with new iOS 13..
* right-click also seems doomed without JavaScript

Another possibility is radio buttons
to switch action for all map entry links
between help and execute.


Locked Re: Inflation of this forum

 

I would be helpful if the Nano VNA group owner enabled the Hashtag option as others have previously suggested.

This needs to be set from the group owners admin page before it can be used.

I'd suggest a few to get things started

#Nano VNA Hardware
#Nano VNA Firmware
#Nano VNA Bug report
#Nano VNA New feature
#Nano VNA Saver Software
#Nano VNA Saver Bug report
#Nano VNA Saver New feature
#Nano VNA Documentation

I'm sure others would get added by users once it became normal to tag posts.

Regards,

Martin - G8JNJ

Re: Latest edy555 firmware release with dfu file

 

OK, thank you for adding the updated file.
Unfortunately, the Windoze DefuSe app doesn't care about the USB IDs and I forgot to check when I converted.

Hello Larry,

I have learned from the manual, that the USB product ID should be "df11".
Unfortunately in your provided file the USB Product ID was 0,
so it coud not be programmed. See error:
dfu-util: Error: File ID 0483:0000 does not match device (0483:df11 or 0483:df11)

Next I have taken the .hex file under Windows 10 and program DfuFileMgr.exe
to add the Provider ID "df11".
Then I could flash in the Terminal:
$ dfu-util -v -d 0483:df11 --alt 0 -D nanoVNA_0.2.3-ch.dfu

I have appended to file nanoVNA_0.2.3-ch.dfu

Re: NanoVNA-Saver 0.0.12

 

Hello Pierre,
thank you for the suggestion! It is indeed on my list ;-) For now, the
NanoVNA-F folks have changed their prompt in order to support the other
software versions available. I am working on a more general approach to
supporting different versions, including the differences between edy555's
latest firmwares and earlier versions.

Rune,
The NanoVNA-F v0.0.3 2019-10-07 firmware was updated per your "prompt
line" observation. From the developer, to quote:

"I think the most suitable command prompt for NanoVNA products should be
"nanovna> ", not "ch> "(which means ChibiOS).
However, in order to be compatible with the existing PC software, we
temporarily choose to compromise."

The GitHub page now lists supported software as: NanoVNASharp v1.0.3(by
Hugen), nanoVNA_mod_v2(by alex_m), and nanovna-saver(by Rune B. Broberg).

Locked Inflation of this forum

 

The forum was highly informative at the beginning. Thanks to the initiators.
But there are no moderators to separate the wheat from the chaff.
Meaningless comments and constant repetitions are the order of the day. It is extremely difficult to find an important message under this flood. It is simply no longer fun to read along here. The abuse in the form of exaggerated, bloated advertising lines has not been prevented.
I appeal to you, the users, to consider whether your contribution is really necessary and important.

Re: Command to set maximum fundamental SI5351 frequency implemented

 

I used edy555's in between release gihub repository, sorry to see it was not stable
Will rebuild with the officiel 2.3 release
Only delta in my version of 2.3 will be the scan command.


Re: errors of "error" models

 

Hello again nikolitsa oe3zgn|sv7dmc & petros oe3zzp|sv7bax @ arg iaoi nfi;

In your expanded definition, you state:

¡° g) does not provide its user with the means to complete his
measurements because it ignores the uncertainty of these
three 3 "standards" and the inaccuracy of these 8 = 4 x 2
¾±²Ô»å¾±³¦²¹³Ù¾±´Ç²Ô²õ.¡±

To be clear on this, and thus my concern for an unambiguous understanding of your approach; this comment raises my concern that you may be contaminating your conclusions due to a potential oversight on your part.
There is a conditional but important (firmware/software) difference that distinguishes the NanoVNA. This difference is my motivation to discuss hardware and firmware/software independently as an assurance that we are playing the same instrument, and hearing the same music. I am curious how that metaphor translates. :-)

The NanoVNA, as with any VNA, outputs results that have been normalized to the measuring equipment environment (offsets and ranges) and then calibrated to a set of fixed standards. The NanoVNA however does not attempt to correct for the characterized uncertainties of the standards, but rather assumes them to be ideal as measured. The key and very important difference is the characterization, and this is what traditionally is employed to offset and thereby minimize and bound the measurement uncertainties to a high tolerance in any (critically used) VNA. While purists will argue (with valid rationale) that the task requires precisely constructed standards devices; short of the normal high quality associated with stability and repeat ability, the task is principally computational.

I will need further clarification if I am remiss in my understanding of the role of the calibration standard uncertainties as a prerequisite requirement beyond their measured values taken as nominal. FACUPOV, where the Common User is a hobbyist that possesses a $50 instrument and perceives it as a fun new toy; most NanoVNAs will never be graced with such fine jewelry.

We are in total agreements on all of your remaining points.
