Roger,
Appreciate your assistance.
Well, it seems that my COM10 port./driver has disappeared and only COM1, COM2,
and LPT1 were left behind. I followed your link to the Box validation,
obtained an ID and proceeded to download the driver package. I attempted to
install the drivers per the two wizards and yet the Drivers remain the same.
PuTTY does not produce the previous error but instead displays a session that
does not respond. Wonder what I am doing wrong? I attached some screen
scrapes essentially tracking what I did.
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 see 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....
4. There is no need to use Putty if you get NanoVNA app working. NanoVNA app has a built in Comms port so you can send console commands to the NanoVNA in a popup window. Attached is a screenshot showing which button to use and where to type commands. If you enter "help" it will return a list of commands. If you do nothing it will show you the traffic between the NanoVNA and the app (try running a sweep to see)
