The permeability (mu) of cores can be measured using a one-port measurement. Put one or more windings on a core of known dimensions and use the "S11 mu" plot from the "Display Setup". The core dimensions (cross section area in mm2, effective length in mm) and number of windings can be set in the context menu for the plot (right click on the plot).

Installation Instructions
|
||||
=========================
|
||||
# Installation Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
## Installation and Use with pip
|
||||
|
||||
Copy the link of the tgz from latest relaese and install it with pip install. e.g.:
|
||||
|
||||
pip3 install https://github.com/NanoVNA-Saver/nanovna-saver/archive/refs/tags/v0.5.5.tar.gz
|
||||
|
||||
Once completed run with the following command: `NanoVNASaver`
|
||||
|
||||
The instructions omit the easiest way to get the program running under Linux - no installation - just start it in the git directory. This makes it difficult for pure users, e.g. hams, who therefore even try to run the Windows exe version under Wine.
|
||||
|
||||
Proposal - Add these sections below to the top README.md, e.g. between "Detailed installation instructions" and "Using the software" (Please review and add e.g. more necessary debian packages):
|
||||
|
||||
## Running on Linux without installation
|
||||
|
||||
The program simply works from the source directory without having to install it.
|
||||
|
||||
Simple step-by-step instruction, open a terminal window and type:
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt install git python3-pyqt5 python3-numpy python3-scipy
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/NanoVNA-Saver/nanovna-saver
|
||||
cd nanovna-saver
|
||||
|
||||
Perhaps your system needs a few additional python modules:
|
||||
|
||||
- Run with `python nanovna-saver.py` and look at the response of (e.g. missing modules).
|
||||
- Install the missing modules, preferably via `sudo apt install ...`
|
||||
|
||||
until `nanovna-saver.py` starts up.
|
||||
|
||||
Now the program can be used from the `nanovna-saver` directory.
|
||||
|
||||
## Installing via DEB for Debian (and Ubuntu)
|
||||
|
||||
The installation has the benefit that it allows you to run the program from anywhere, because the
|
||||
main program is found via the regular `$PATH` and the modules are located in the Python module path.
|
||||
|
||||
If you're using a debian based distro you should consider to build your own `*.deb` package.
|
||||
This has the advantage that NanoVNASaver can be installed and uninstalled cleanly in the system.
|
||||
|
||||
For this you need to install `python3-stdeb` - the module for converting Python code and modules into a Debian package:
|
||||
|
||||
apt install python3-stdeb
|
||||
|
||||
Then you can build the package via:
|
||||
|
||||
make deb
|
||||
|
||||
This package can be installed the usual way with
|
||||
|
||||
sudo dpkg -i nanovnasaver....deb
|
||||
or
|
||||
|
||||
sudo apt install ./nanovnasaver....deb
|
||||
|
||||
### Installing via RPM (experimental)
|
||||
|
||||
`make rpm` builds an (untested) rpm package that can be installed on your system the usual way.
|
||||
|
||||
## Ubuntu 20.04 / 22.04
