Re: Calibration settings for NanoVNA-saver using SDR-Kits BNC calibration kit

 

Kurt,

Thanks for supporting BNC connectors. I do lots of portable operation on HF and 6 meters and an constantly rearranging equipment so I have standardized on BNC connectors and purchased your calibration kit. I have front ended my VNWA2 and nanoVNA analyzers with BNC connectors on a bulkhead panels.

73,

How to convert, which also can be used for any unknown calibration kit

The NanoVNA-H is hugen's newest release of the NanoVNA with plastic case, battery monitoring circuit, and USB-C to USB-C resistors. The "-H" suffix was added to distinguish it from other NanoVNA's.

2. 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?

More recent firmware can display the version number through the menu by selecting <CONFIG-VERSION>. I believe on earlier firmware you could connect the NanoVNA to a PC and then using a terminal program type "version" to get the version number.

3. 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

The various firmware available is useable with all NanoVNA and NanoVNA-H models. They cannot be used with the NanoVNA-F which is the 4.3" screen model.

From: Neal Pollack: Which versions of firmware can be used on these?
Yours sounds like the one I have and I use edy555 firmware.


Re: 30MHz and below

 

NanoVNA-Saver has no limitation on the number of saved calibrations. They
are saved as files.

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).

Re: New User: HW vs. Firmware compatibility?

 

I should correct my post above, since upon reading more on the wiki,
it appears to be a NanoVNA-H hardware version but without the plastic case.
It is black, USB-C, with RF shields and LiPo battery containing charge/protection
circuits on the battery.

Which versions of firmware can be used on these?

Thanks!

Dear Erik,

Thank you very much indeed for your continuing interest in our work !

However, since we are not sure at all what would you expect from us
regarding your Work contained in your three links you gave to us,
we don't want to jeopardize any related comment, which will be
considered as inappropriate by a possibly biassed member of this

Re: 30MHz and below

 

Unfortunately, there is no more room in the firmware for more storage locations.?

Hugen removed c4 so he could fit in the larger fonts.?

The Octave serial interface library is different. Rest should work.

Paul Fredette, K1YBE, has uploaded a sample Octave script for interfacing with the NanoVNA. The script can be found at: . Of course it also is applicable to MATLAB users.

Hi Luigi , from message #7400 about the firmware version 4.0.3 AA

QRP and Oristo wrote:
"it has larger font, so it cannot show full frequency and measured value result and cut-off part of the value"

"4 calibration SAVE areas instead of 5. On the other hand, Hugen maintains code inline that is neither in edy555 nor QRP firmware, so presumably more responsive.
Other space was cleared in previous release (4.0) by
eliminating shell commands: DUMP, SCANRAW, COLOR"
