BlueVNA version 2.0 is now available in Play Store
Posted: Fri Jan 26, 2018 8:45 am
Hello everybody,
I've just published in Play Store a new version of BlueVNA application. This one include a lot of new features and bug fixes. As some routines were fully redesigned, it may still contain some bugs, so I count on your feedback to solve them as soon as possible.
What's new comparing with the previous Play Store version (0.9.6):
• full screen (immersive mode) with Android >= KitKat - navigation buttons are now hidden
• fully redesigned XLCR mode with auto detection
• make all saved files visible in Windows explorer immediately (no more Android restart required)
• Progress Bar control changed, to be compliant with some non-standard Android devices
• in the startup page, there is no more a virtual led. The color of the START button changes now based on connection status
• second marker added, automatically calculating deltas
• better response for marker movement
• delta F display in minSWR window for SWR=2 and SWR=3
• "Loss" button label changed to "Atten" in transmission mode
• you can now set the attenuation scale manually in transmission mode (30, 60 or 90dB)
• automatically calculate filter parameters in transmission mode (experimental)
• a message is displayed if the calibration file is invalid when loaded
• in transmission mode if you long press on Attn button, the two markers are automatically set for a user adjustable Loss (through a Seek Bar)
• display pass number in the calibration status window
• auto RL scale for Reflection mode too
• In-app purchase if you like the application and you want to support further development
Bugs solved:
o markers remaining on the screen in the right position even if you extend the screen
o calibration broken in 0.9.6 (cannot use a new calibration)
o files saved with version < 0.9.5-1 are loaded incorrectly
o X-tal mode now works with miniVNA Standard too (use min Xs instead of Xs passing through 0 for miniVNA standard
o Smith chart overlapping buttons if device display format is 4/3 (ex. 1024x768)
o if miniVNA Standard and loading an* invalid calibration file for transmission, you are asking to do an Open instead of Loop calibration (Open calibration is not available in transmission mode for miniVNA Standard
o errors if loading an incompatible file
The updated online guide is available here(multilingual):

or as a pdf file (English only):
