PicoVNA® 100 Series vector network analyzers

Multiple and fast remote access paths

At the forefront of PicoVNA 5 design we had the flexible-

platform programmer and OEM embed/test system

integrator in mind!

Via multiple access points, PicoVNA 5 supports both

remote program command and retrieve (SCPI compliant)

via the GUI and a separate advanced user API. Both paths

are optimized for fast data transfer, for example into

imaging/radar/dielectric analysis and test applications.

They also present a familiar SCPI path for those needing

to integrate or replace a VNA within a larger product, test

system or remote location. Local and network remote UIs

then sit on further access points, allowing a local and/

or remote operator to interact with a SCPI sourced test

sequence. Network/internet mirrored training or support

sessions can therefore be supported under the PicoVNA

5 UI.

Programmers can access a comprehensive set of SCPI

and API SDK examples for MathWorks MATLAB, National

Instruments Labview, Python, C, C# and C++ via our

GitHub organization page.

PicoVNA 5 remote command and retrieve benefits from

punishing alpha and beta testing within advanced and

demanding remote applications.

For PicoVNA 2/3 remote DLL users

PicoVNA 5 does not replicate the remote command and retrieve of the predecessor software and DLL of PicoVNA 3. We encourage migration to the new platform and the extended

functionality of PicoVNA 5, via SCPI or the API. The above SDK examples and Pico Technology’s Technical Support team will assist the migration when users are ready to do so.

Meanwhile, PicoVNA 3 and its control DLL remain available and fully supported.
