Quick Reference Card #learning #manuals

 

Does anyone know of a quick reference card (how to setup the nanovna) for doing different types of measurements, such SWR, cable length, etc.?
 

Try the "How-To" section at the end of the Wiki

It would help us Elmers to know whether you are using the VNA standalone or with your PC.
I never use mine standalone and always use NanoVnaSaver.

Try NanoVNA app by OneOfEleven. You may never go back to NanoVNA Saver. Better graphs and easier scaling, up to 4 plots on same graph, calibration works reliably and much more. You right click on graphs to set parameters.

Unless someone mentions using with an external computer, why would someone think they were ? Peculiar logic.

I used mine with the computer exactly once: to update FW and perform a battery of tests. The results were worse than with stand-alone and turns out others found similar (V2plus2) presumably due to the USB interface. When I have time I plan on checking out Joe Smith’s app as it seems to offer a lot of functionality improvement over stand-alone and my new LiteVNA I guess isn’t as bad when connected via USB, but I’m not looking forward to trying to get the Native Instruments runtime engine working on my Mac.

A “Quick Reference Card” that I could print and learn with like in the field or bench. No app or PC. The Wiki How to (at the end), YouTube, tells you how but not a “Quick Reference Card”.
 

Chris,
As simple as the NanoVNA looks, there is really no quick reference on how to use it - it is a full VNA in the real sense.
That is like asking for a QR card for an HP or Anritsu VNA.
However, with that said, there are a few menu structure maps available either in the Wiki, files section or in various forum messages.
The menu maps are dependent on the version of firmware you have
Of course, since all of the available docs have been written by the NanoVNA users and submitted to the user group - feel free to distill a QR card for everyone, by going through the various user guides and messages. This is not a dig - others before you as well as myself, have done that to create the current docs you can grab on the user group.

Perhaps the team over at Nifty-Guides could create one. They do a ton of
ham radios and other products.

Early on firmware developers made "Menu Structure Maps" available. Is this,
what is now missing with all the latest firmware?

Is this what Chris is looking for?

When I built my 486DX2 in 92, with huge help, my guru said to get 5x7 spiral-bound recipe card set to act as notes that he'd mention, as we go. It worked great!

I had the reference, and writing things down, acted like the only cheat sheet I ever made. Completed, I didn't need it. Writing it down after mentally condensing it forged the memory. Never repeated that, sadly, as it created my best grade ever.

New blood sees things with an unjaundiced eye. Making your own note-set, helps. It's a lil laborious, but almost a one-off.
