miniVNA

Screendump of the early alpha version of my miniVNA software

miniVNA is a small Vector Network Analyser. It has no buttons and no display. It should be connected to a PC via the USB bus. With the miniVNA comes software written in Visual Basic. Although the hardware is great I didn't like the software. The user interface is not very flexibel (you can't scale it for example) and the UI doesn’t respond very well. As a professional software developer I'm trying to write a better program.

The current version is written in Delphi. But I'm planning to write a Linux version in C++ based on KDE/QT. The Windows version is closed source software as I use some libraries I can not distribute. The Linux version will be open source.

On this page you can download the first version of my miniVNA software. It is still an early alpha version so don’t expect to much. There is still a lot to do. For example the reflection mode, cable length, frequency generator, calibration, Q-measurement, etc. But if you would like to test it you can download the executable. Just put it in some directory, create a shortcut to your desktop and run it. You can always send me your comments via erwin at pa7n dot nl. But don't expect me to include your great ideas next week ;-)
