Discovered a couple of issues that would make using this much nicer, and a couple of limitations:

1. you are currently limiting the number of points to 500, the NanoVNA can go up to 801. Last time I tried on the NanoVNA itself, if you enter a number larger than it's max, it sets the number of points to the Max, so you could allow any number to be entered and then read back that value, let the NanoVNA control the bounds limit.

2. Screen shot doesn't work. This worked under 0.5x fw, but with 0.6.0, it appears to be downloading the screenshot, but all I see in the screenshot window is the galaxy image (I'm assuming this is a default image you have set). Debug log below

3. The calibration documentation is not clear - the pop-up menu says "Use Internal" - that SEEMS to be the configuration for using the NanoVNA's internal calibration, but the documentation says that "Use Internal" is for using VNAMate's calibration, maybe a selector for "Use VNA calibration" or "Use Application Calibration".

4. One issue I had was that when I launch and connect, it reset the state of my VNA. I had been using the VNA not connected to the computer and I wanted to take a screenshot. My thought process was:
-- on the VNA
- stop scanning (what I want is showing on the screen)
- connect USB cable
-- on computer
- launch VNAMate
- take screenshot
Unfortunately, when I connected, it changed the calibration selection and number of points and erased the screen.

Here is the debug log when I tried to do a screen shot (item #2 above):

... much more of the same thing and some lines that just said (null)

I can't duplicate the problems with my device.

1. My SYSJOINT NanoVNA-F V2 with firmware 0.6.0 supports 301 sweep points only. Requesting more points gives an error:

   Code: Select all

   ch> scan 3000000 30000000 401 3
   sweep points exceeds range 11 -201
   ch> 

   There is an error in the error message, it should read 301. HI
2. Screen shot function works as expected.
3. Use Internal calibration means: The calibration in the NanoVNA is used. Sorry, English is not my native language. The in app calibration feature was added later. There maybe an outdated text somewhere. I have to check.
4. The app doesn't change your calibration or any setting.

It seems to me you are using another device or another firmware.

Hello, Is there a means to set the ITU region or update the band for 6m US (50-54MHz). I know I can set the higher end point than the default ITU region 2 of 52MHz when selecting the band, but would like this set permanently if possible. I don't see a settings menu on Mac v1.3.1.

many thanks

Hello, Is there a means to set the ITU region or update the band for 6m US (50-54MHz).

Good idea, I will add it. I guess there are few more bands to adjust.

Great, many thanks - appreciate the quick response and amazing software.
