PicoVNA 5: Game-changing new software for PicoVNA - Frequency or time segment zoom and magnify plot detail

There are two powerful results detail views implemented in PicoVNA 5 beneath each plot format key.

Zoom Frequency or Time Segments: each selection of this tool adds a user draggable

frequency or time span to the span axis of your plot (including Smith and Polar). Once

set, add a new zoomed segment plot to the drag’n’snap viewport grid. Repeat to add

further zoomed segments and plots if you wish and then re-arrange your display layout

to suit.

Both forms of added viewport fully support fine position cursor readouts and markers

drop and drag. And by providing the two mechanisms PicoVNA 5 releases you from the

confines of a single detail inspection mechanism!

Magnify: adds a scroll wheel magnified view centered on any point within your plot. The

current plots area divides horizontally or vertically to allow the live updating spy-glass

plot. Now you get to see just how good your matches, shorts or opens really are at the

center, the bounds or in fact anywhere on your Smith; or any other plot!

User defined interpolations

An advanced provision, closely associated with Zoom and Magnify, the PicoVNA 5 user can set their

Preference for interpolation mechanism on a per plot-type basis. Select rom several vector or scalar

interpolations and apply them to real-imaginary or to magnitude-angle data. Usefully, this will apply for either

Live, Memory or Imported data in on or off-line (no connected instrument) applications. Additionally the user

can elect to export data with or without processing.
