connecting to macOS to issue commands

 

Hello,
?
I want to connect to tinySA from macOS. I did it previously for updating a firmware (dfu-util) and now tried tinySA.py following the steps according to athome.kaashoek.com/tinySA/python/. Capturing the display was ok. The device is tinySA Basic with 1.4175 firmware.
?
Now I'd like to issue other commands, explicitly to calibrate the low output level.

But don't know which scripts are used in the drivers. I only found info that there are windows and linux drivers. Would like to try to install from source to macOS. Could someone provide a link? I searched github but appears that Ho-Ro/nanovna-tools are not the right ones.
?

If you can capture the screen you do not need other drivers.
The tinySA is connected as a serial interface and you need something to send serial commands and show the serial responses.
This can be a terminal emulator or a python program

This is the response for calibrating the output level:
?
leveloffset low output -1.0
?
tinySA.py: error: no such option: -1
 

Did you forget the underscore between low and output?

Yes, I did, the response is like this:
?
% python ./tinySA.py leveloffset low_output -1
Usage: tinySA.py: [options]
?
tinySA.py: error: no such option: -1

?
 

Use -e switch and enclose multi word command in quotes

Thank you!
?
So I did
python ./tinySA.py -e 'leveloffset low output -1'
?
and also in the same vein
python ./tinySA.py -e saveconfig
