..well, figured out how to flash the firmware with the app and, thanks to help here, I was able to do a cal first in order to make the new firmware retain the config I set up. My original goal is to brighten up the faint grid lines and am given to understand that this can be done via console commands in lieu of the missing "BRIGHTNESS" option on previous firmware.

I am using PuTTY to connect and having no success. It has been set up as a serial connection to COM10 (checked with my Windows 7 device manager) and the parameters are the same the as the app parms (shown in the attachments below). Each time I attempt to open the connection I get the missing file error message per the error message attached

Appreciate any help.

I believe you are using WIN 7. The problem could be that you do not have the correct driver installed for Windows 7. Windows 10 has the correct driver for the NanoVNA ready to go (or update will install it). With WIN 7/8/8.1 you have to manually install it.

After you do Device Manager will look like the attached screenshot. Note the description of the driver...

Here is a link to the WIN 7 and WIN 8 drivers for the NanoVNA on my Box drive. Download button in upper right hand corner. (Note: These are NOT the DFU drivers required for updating firmware)

If you have problems...
---------------
1. There are not two wizards for the drivers. There are four drivers in the zip file - two for Win 8 and two for WIn7. You have to pick one of the four and only run that install. For Win 7 pick the one that matches your system - 32 bits or 64 bits.

2. COM1 and COM2 are usually Windows defaults and you will se those with nothing plugged in. You won't see the one for the NanoVNA until you plug it in. You should hear a bing sound in Windows when you plug it in. After you plug in your NanoVNA and turn it on you should see an new Com port with the name STMicroelectonics Virtual COM Port. See attached screenshot.

3. After you install the driver plug it in and post a screenshot of Device Manager here....

If you connect to a NanoVNA with a terminal program you need to set the baud rate to 115200 and no flow control.

Appreciate any help.

Perhaps something else is using COM10? The NanoVNA-Saver or whatever?
