Re: Measure crystal motional parameters? Needs 1Hz frequency steps
The software that comes with the AIM4170/4300 can automatically measure crystals.? I have designed about 20 different crystal filters? using this software and the results are virtually perfect with

Re: Measure crystal motional parameters? Needs 1Hz frequency steps
Hi Alan Oristo just told QRP has the solution Kind regards Kurt -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: [email protected] <[email protected]> P? vegne af Alan G3XAQ Sendt: 29. oktober 2019

Re: Measure crystal motional parameters? Needs 1Hz frequency steps
Hi Alan Yes I missed that point and agree 1Hz step is a must. But I have seen mentioned in a posting frequency steps of 1Hz for a special firmware but when and from whom I do not recall Kind regards

Re: Measure crystal motional parameters? Needs 1Hz frequency steps
you can find firmware here: https://github.com/qrp73/NanoVNA-Q/releases Just tested 0.4.2 supports 1 Hz steps. Frequency steps smaller than 1 Hz is not supported, because frequency is represented with

Re: Remove plastic screen protector?
All the NanoVNA devices use resistive touchscreen devices so it is irrelevant if you leave it on or take it off. However, replacing it with a real screen protector is always a good idea.? ... Larry

Re: edelay vs ELECTRICAL DELAY and other fun #internals
This is really a 2nd order polynomial...it seems to be entirely adequate. Higher order (x^3...) polynomials can be made to fit almost anything in a strict range, but IMO much above 3rd is not

Re: edelay vs ELECTRICAL DELAY and other fun #internals
More points means more long measurement and more high probability of some interference spike. I think may be there is need for a median filtering, but there is too small memory in order to do median

Re: Measure crystal motional parameters? Needs 1Hz frequency steps
yes, it supports 1 Hz step, also there is fixed frequency rounding error and it measure exactly these frequencies which are requested. With old firmware versions you will get random frequency errors

Re: Measure crystal motional parameters? Needs 1Hz frequency steps
At least QRP's recent firmwares accept 1Hz steps, e.g.: scan usage: scan {start(Hz)} {stop(Hz)} [points] scan 10000 10100 100 frequencies 10000 10001 10002 10003 ... 10098 10100

Different types of protectors exist for plastic screens: One is just meant to protect the plastic screen surface from scratches (and fingerprints) while being handled during manufacturing and

Re: Measure crystal motional parameters? Needs 1Hz frequency steps
Hello Kurt. Thanks very much for the feedback describing how things have moved on. You say NanoVNA-saver can increase the number of steps, but can it also reduce the step size? Even 101 points with

Re: Remove plastic screen protector?
The protector is just that, a protector, and even more: it decreases de efficiency of the capacitive touch screen, so the idea is taking it out at once. Do you leave the protective film when you get a

Measure crystal motional parameters? Needs 1Hz frequency steps
There are programs for the N2PK type of instrument that use a fixture like this http://www.hamcom.dk/VNWA/Crystal%20Test%20Fixture%20for%20DG8SAQ%20VNWA%20and%20N2PK%20VNA%20.pdf to measure quartz

Re: edelay vs ELECTRICAL DELAY and other fun #internals
Averaging reduces noise with the square of the number of averages From 1 to 10 reduces a factor 3. To 100 should reduce again with factor 3. But it seems a bit less reduction.
