Arinst VNA-DL1-8800 MHz VNA #docs #general


 

Hello Everyone,
I was wondering has anyone of you used this product? () My concern is whether this VNA can talk with nanovna saver or may be with some python program? This one looks good and has some review here:

Thank you.
Khalid


 


 

Khalid,
Unless the manufacturer has claimed this device uses a command structure that is compatible with the NanoVNA & LiteVNA series, you will have to write your own interface routines in NanoSaver.
But - the manufacturer needs to have published the interface command structure (API) in a similar way that the NanoVNA and LiteVNA commands have been published.

Good luck.

This VNA product has its own PC program and they have not published their communication protocol. So it does not work directly with NanoVNA Saver or NanoVNA app. You would have to "sniff" the USB exchange in order to reverse engineer the communications protocol.

However it does export industry standard s1p and s2p Touchstone files. You can import these into NanoVNA Saver or NanoVNA app and use the graphing options in these programs.

Have you considered using another VNA that has better support like the LiteVNA64 or one of the V2 type products?

Hello Roger and Larry,
Thanks everyone for your support and information. I really appreciate your help.
Roger,
Yes, I have LiteVNA64, however, I am looking for higher frequency
range, and this is the only one that can go beyond 7 GHz. Do you know
any other VNA that can go to at least 7 GHz with the nanovna protocol?

Thanks again.
Khalid

Khalid,

Depending on your requirements, you could look at using a Pluto with Satsagen
with the third harmonic option. It's not vector, though.






It has its own software.
