Hi, It would be good to understand what the underlying reason for only wanting to measure S21 is: 1. Is the reason for only wanting S21 for faster measurement speed? 2. Is the reason for only wanting S21 so that no stimulus is applied to Port 2 of the DUT? In terms of measurement, the PicoVNA 108 ...

Hello, The S21-only correction method has not been implemented in PicoVNA 5 because it is only a simple correction based on normalisation that can be easily implemented in user code. To implement an S21-only correction: 1. Load the factory calibration 2. Measure a zero-length through 3. Record the ...

Hi, Please could you confirm if your instrument is a PicoVNA 106 or PicoVNA 108? Before fixing this, it would be really useful if you could zip up all of the persistent application state and send it to support@picotech.com so we can examine exactly what has caused the problem: cd $HOME zip -r all ...

The error appears to indicate that _vna_python.so cannot be found (or is not compatible with your system). Possible causes include ...

Hi, thanks for your questions. I've used the PicoVNA to automate measurements a few months ago and had a some trouble setting up the correct Python environnement. I could get the sample code working only on some 32-bits Python (<= 3.8 32-bits). First question, is it an issue from my side or is it ...

Hello, and thank you for reporting this issue. I can confirm this is an issue with PicoVNA 3, and that it will be fixed in the next release. In the meantime, the P1dB utility works correctly in a previous version of the software, PicoVNA 2. Please email support@picotech.com and reference this forum ...

This is not currently possible in the PicoVNA 3 or PicoVNA 5 User Interface software, but will likely be added to PicoVNA 5 in 2024. If there are features that you would find useful, but are not currently available in the PicoVNA 5 software, you can help the development team to prioritise these by ...
