Please be aware that legal use of anything from that site is iffy at best due to copyright laws.
I searched the site for anything regarding original copyright ownership and could not find anything so it is really no better than downloading from a pirate site.
Please be aware.

Larry,
ZPLOT uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) to draw its user interface and also do some underlying calculations. Other than AutoCad I don't know of any other applications that have licensed VBA from Microsoft for use as their scripting language. I suppose the VBA licensing fees are the primary factor
I did get sidetracked looking at the underlying VBA code in ZPLOTS. Some of the mathematical coding is educational for those geeks amongst us, of which I admit I am one.

Hi,
It is a false positive, might be caused by obfuscation.
Just exclude the file in your anti virus.

There's something wrong there.

Hi Neb
i'm not sure i am the first to alert it, but....
somehow the link is blocked by Anti Virus , which states that this site or the file contains " a risk" while the browser tries to reach it.
it might that the site is the problem and not the content , but, is there a way to place it in other location NOT in this site?
it happens on old versions also.
usually , i "listen" to the alerts of the ANTI virus ( in this case it is ESET)
and, i , probably like others, would like to use this SW.

Re: Installing NanoVna-Saver : First Time Problems/Fixes
From: paul larner
seems to me the vna saver is iffy,i get a smith chart with only the trace displayed ie none of the circle markings,its like the trace is in thin air,any ideas?,on my lappy the creed display just jitters all over,mentioned this a few times but lagley seems to be ignorred!
==========================
Paul,
First, I suggest calibrating your PC's display, for example:
Then, be aware that you can change the chart colours to suit your own taste. I found that the defaults weren't idea for me.
Cheers,

Hi All
There has been several contribution on how to create a T-Check for the NanoVNA and I have made a document about why these T-Check are not so promising.
It is in fact not possible due to the lag of adequate error correct models as NanoVNA allows only error correction (at the best as the exact models are unknown) for one direction and not bidirectional.
Have a look and see the experiment I have made to enlighten the interested reader ?
Kind regards
Kurt

Iffy nanovna-saver installation -- PauL
Paul,
Your description of the problem is vague at best. However, if you're saying that the display on the screen is the problem, it might not be an nanovna-saver problem
If I'm correct in thinking that the display is generated from the VC++ application mentioned in previous messages, then maybe install/re-install that App?

Definitely use N, not BNC. Mainly because BNC provides a less repeatable connection, and for a VNA, you should be seeking the most repeatable connection possible. Dave
