Since our model of VNA has only 2 ports, you should download S2 VNA software for your respective system.
The Copper mountain VNA operates with its test and measurement circuity on device while having control and test results communicated over USB to your device through the TRVNA software. Therefore, to setup the VNA, ensure the device is first connected to mains power through its included 12v barrel jack cable and is connected to your computer over USB before turning it on.
Since we do not yet have a dedicated calibration kit for the Copper Mountain VNA, we share a calibration kit between it and the NanoVNA. Because of this, the calibration kit used for the Copper Mountain VNA is located within the box for the NanoVNA.
Inside that box you should be able to identify two blue male to male SMA jumpers, alongside five calibration terminations. Please refer to this manual on the exact steps within the TRVNA software to calibrate the VNA with the calibration terminations.
I have never been able to receive very reliable and repeatable results out of the NanoVNA, if you are able to recalibrate and perform tests that validate its measurements are reliable i.e in spec with the copper mountain VNA, then it can be considered to be usable for measurement applications.
Refer to this document to calibrate the NanoVNA.
Most tasks in UW Orbital involving the VNA will involve measuring S-Parameters. More specifically, S11 and S21 parameters. For simplicity to understand these measurements, think of the port numbers mentioned in the names. For S11 you are measuring the input of port 1 compared to the output of port 1, for S21 you are measuring the input of port 2 compared to the output 1 of 1. Some examples of when you would want one measurement or the other are:
