SWR what did I mess up
#nanovna-h
Andrew Kurtz
I read somewhere that if you use the nanoVNA alone you MUST calibrate on it, whereas if you use it attached to nanoVNA-saver, you MUST calibrate on the computer software.

On nanovna-saver/README.md at master ¡¤ NanoVNA-Saver/nanovna-saver ¡¤ GitHub <> I have read that the calibration has to be done for the full sweeprange of interest on the NanoVna as well as in NanoVna-Saver.? When you start the Calibration assistant in NanoVna-Saver the textline in bolt is telling about the same.

After the calibration of the NanoVna? then 101 calibrationpoints has to be saved in Slot 0 (Save 0). As soon as you press "Connect to device" in NanVna-Saver then Segments show 1 (101 datapoints/sweep). Before you repeat the calibration procedure in NanoVNA-Saver you can determine if you? wish to refine your sweep with more than 101 datapoints by changing the number in the Segments window of the NanoVna-Saver. If you change this to 10 then you have 10 x 101 = 1010 datapoints. Then calibrate. Then measure your device. Now if you wish to zoom in on your data then change your Start/Stop frequency in NanoVna-Saver. If you like to do a new calibration within the specified frequency range in NanoVna-Saver do not forget to press the Reset button first to erase the previous Calibration data in NanoVna-Saver. I am doing so as described above, using a NanoVna-H4 and NanoVna-Saver 0.3.9 and it works fine. Op 15-10-2021 om 13:50 schreef AE5SB: Do I need to do both? |
When using NANO Saver, the cal files can be stored on the PC/laptop, not in
the NANO. You can store them permanently on the PC and access them for future use by just reloading them, provided everything is identical to the original cal. At least that's how it works here. Your mileage may vary?

It is my understanding that you need to do both. The best suggestion I haveJim, You don't have to calibrate In NanoVNA saver if the NanoVNA is calibrated and you are using the same frequency range in Saver. Roger |

My NanoVNA-H4 presently has the following calibrated and saved configurations. Recall 0 50kHz-900MHz Recall 1 1MHz-31MHz Recall 2 1MHz-61MHz Recall 3 100MHz-200MHz If I want to use NanoVNA Saver in the 1Mhz-61MHz range is it sufficient to load Recall 0 or do I have to load Recall 2 before running NanoVNA Saver? Do the calibrated ranges have to match? Mike N2MS Jim, |

Roger,Nope.. You can probably just turn it on (which recalls 0) and go from that. |

Jim , If he is calibrated on 50 KHz. to 900 MHz. and then sets the NanoVNA Saver to 1 1MHz-61MHz. there will be a lot of interpolation going on. Why not recall 2 and avoid this? Mike - N2MS - Try both ways and see how they compare when measuring something like an antenna. Roger |
