21 Apr 2021 — None of the current PC software (NanoVNA-saver, NanoVNA-Sharp, TAPR, WebApp) work with the NanoVNA-V2. Rune has ordered a NanoVNA- NanoVNA V2 Vector Network Analyser - First Impressions
Mastering the S-A-A-2 with NanoVNA-QT PC Software: A Comprehensive Guide
: Best for laboratory-grade stability, firmware updates, and raw data throughput.
While nanoVNA-qt is our primary recommendation for the S-A-A-2, you have options:
A detailed comparison between the and the newer V2 Plus4 . A guide on creating a 2-port calibration for filters. An explanation of how to read the smith chart in detail.
: The S-A-A-2 uses a virtual serial port over USB. Ensure you have the correct drivers so NanoVNA-QT can "see" the device.
: Save configurations, trace data, and touchstone ( .s1p , .s2p ) files directly to your hard drive.
The Smith chart is essential for impedance matching. It shows resistance and reactance simultaneously.
: The S-A-A-2 samples rapidly. Poorly shielded USB cables pick up PC motherboard noise, which degrades the dynamic range of your S21 measurements.
While the small screen on the S-A-A-2 is useful in the field, it has limitations. Connecting to NanoVNA-QT via USB offers: See adjustments instantly.
The software is free, open-source, and actively maintained. All you need is a USB cable and 30 seconds to download it.
: Maintained by NanoRFE, this site serves as the manual for the software itself. It is the recommended platform for the S-A-A-2 because it is specifically tested for V2 hardware and supports essential plots like Smith charts , logmag , and VSWR .
The user manual is also available at http://nanorfe.com and is an essential resource for detailed operation instructions.
Using a standalone S-A-A-2 restricts measurements to a low number of data points per sweep on its compact built-in screen. Connecting the device to the NanoVNA-QT software offers several major advantages:
Even with great software, problems occur. Here is how to solve them with the and S-A-A-2 combo.
To get started with NanoVNA-QT and the S-A-A-2 VNA:
(Optional) Connect the standard between Port 1 and Port 2 for two-port measurements.
So you can focus on what matters the most - building your business.
