Re: New User: HW vs. Firmware compatibility?


 

Hello:

I am a new user, and just received one of the recent, but not "-H" versions of the NanoVNA.
It seems to have a build date of second half 2019. No case, but shielded, and the sides are open,
with removeable backplate to see the battery and RF shields.

Is there a command, either in the PC software via USB cable, or else via the USB serial console,
that will show what version firmware I have?

Second, how can I tell if I can use the newer firmware, perhaps the H version, so that I can
get the added features such as TDR?

Sincere Thanks for helping/teaching.

Neal,

Welcome to the group!

I suggest installing the NanoVNA-saver software.



IIRC it can show the firmware level. It /may/ also be displayed when you boot the device (mine doesn't).
