PicoVNA2 with python weird results under 1MHz

Post by andzux »

Hello!

I have a problem.

I'm trying to use PicoVNA 106 with python according to https://github.com/picotech/picosdk-picovna-python-examples/blob/master/PicoVNAExamples/PicoVNAExamples.py and found few issues:

First - when It uses LoadCal(filename) it shows error but uses the cal anyway.
I know the file name is correct because if it is not correct it shows error and then says it will use default cal.

Second - the values in the range under 1MHz are not the same as in the PicoVNA2.
I connected leads together and in PicoVNA2 program it shows around 0dB in S21 mode but when I use everything the same in python it shows -90dB.
But everything over 1MHz is the same.

Has someone encountered the same kind of problems?

I have same issue. I don't get the "Error" value of return value of LoadCal function.
and GetData function returns same values after every calling Measure function.
