Features wanted for NanoVNASharp software


 

There are several features missing in current version:
* Two permanent markers. There is only one marker displayed when hovering with mouse over graph. Not so easy to make a screen shot and still displaying marker value.

* With two markers a delta marker funktion would be fine.

* Sometimes the plots are rather noisy, so an averaging funktion would help.

What about coax cable length calculation?

And j+/-? :D

TDR. Other VNAs seem to have the feature. It would really help me with an
iffy feeder I have running down the garden.

You read my mind, Mike - I second the TDR function!

Maybe the next version of the NanoVNA could also have a broadband noise source to act as a pseudo 'tracking generator' so we can do additional swept measurements?

Just a thought.

Knowledge:

I also second the TDR :D

Yes this will be good but most software assumes lossless cables so that? you can deduce the antenna Z from measurements from the shack end. The equations are there for the lossy cable cases but I don't? know any good software that can do that. Why?Sent from my Samsung Galaxy smartphone.
