Hello,

Description:
This is a translated, reformatted and edited version of cho45's excellent (github-based) NanoVNA User Guide. I have made the URL links live as well as added additional content in order to clarify some sections. The document is 32 pages and is formatted for printing. updated Nov-19-2019 - Added sections on Scaling and menu map.

Cheers,

A very nice update. This now covers most of the areas that were the most puzzling to me.

One thing I notice is that it assumes a newer firmware level that has the DFU command, etc. I didn't notice mention of using the jumper pins that first time. Likewise the data entry bar with the keyboard Easter egg is unmentioned. Passing mention is made of the changing menus through. I'm guessing that most new users will be starting with a unit at the old initial firmware level so that they could use such information.


 

Hi Joe,
The keyboard magic corner is shown in the document and is #16 on the list in that section. I will have a look in the firmware section regarding the jumper.?
Although the document is listed as being 'Opensource', I have tried to keep
It close to cho45's original intent. I have made clarifications and added items that were omitted in his original doc. I'm also adding some additional examples at the end. Cho45 has not updated his version since the beginning of October and I am updating my edit twice a month.?
Please let me know if there is anything you feel should be added. In fact, if you or anyone else wants to create/write-up some 'cookbook' type examples of using the NanoVNA, I will add them to the document. I reference all sources.?
RegardsLarry

Hello Larry,
I don't think item 16 addresses my issue. The original FW did not have a keypad icon at all. You just had to know to click in the white area to the right, hence my calling it an Easter egg. Attached is a photo of a recent unit from nooelec showing the numeric entry bar with no keypad icon.. FW in new units is the same as the older devices. I would address this with a photo that highlights the magic area like the second photo. Text like : "Note that earlier level firmware defaults to a one line numeric entry bar as shown here. Click in the white area to the right of the numbers (red circle here) to bring up the full keyboard." or some such verbiage.

Another thing I noticed is that the menu map on the last page while very useful is down right hostile to a printer because of the dark background. I took a quick hack at it with GIMP to make it more printer friendly. I'll attach what I got but it might need more work if you want something like this. Better still would be to get the originator to change the colors.
Thanks for the interest, Joe
