Title: SIGLENT SVA1000X SERIES VNA FIRMWARE UPGRADE V3.2.2.6.0R7
Post by: W4OP on January 23, 2024, 08:23:31 pm
I successfully  updated my SVA1032X VNA. One of the new features is (I think) the much ask for ability to plot R and X versus frequency in the S11 mode. While the options now appear in the Menu, the results don't mean anything to me. eg my CAL 50 Ohm load measures 1:1 in the SWR  format and shows 50 Ohms on the Smith chart. But using the REAL mode the trace is on zero (0) and the units are U and mU.  Of course, I was anticipating the ordinate would be in Ohms.
The upgrade notes also mention Reflection Z as a new option, but I have  not located that feature yet.
Any guidance appreciated.
