TVNA
Vector Network Analyzer Control Software
TVNA provides the primary user interface to your BNA100 or BNA1000 Series Vector Network Analyzer. It's designed to provide a familiar yet powerful control application for any engineer experienced with contemporary VNA tools.
Bird TVNA
The Standard version of TVNA is for controlling a single Bird VNA. Its analysis capability can be extended with options.
Minimum System Requirements:
- Windows 7 or later
- 1.5 GHz CPU
- 1 GB RAM
- USB 2.0
Multi-Unit TVNA
The Multi-Unit version of TVNA supports controlling up to 4 Bird VNAs at the same time for a maximum of 16 VNA channels.
Only one version of TVNA can be installed at a time.
Minimum System Requirements:
- Windows 7 or later
- 1.5 GHz CPU
- 1 GB RAM
- USB 2.0
Demo TVNA
The Demo version of TVNA allows you to explore the features and capabilities of TVNA without a VNA connected to your computer.
Only one version of TVNA can be installed at a time.
Minimum System Requirements:
- Windows 7 or later
- 1.5 GHz CPU
- 1 GB RAM
Optional Feature
Time Domain Analysis & Gating
Time Domain Analysis involves converting the measured frequency domain data (S-parameters) into the time domain using an FFT. The result can be an impulse or a step response, which shows how a device responds over time to a fast transition, offering a time-resolved view of the DUT's behavior.
Time Domain Gating allows isolation of specific time intervals corresponding to certain physical locations or components in the DUT. This enables the analysis of just those parts of the signal path, ignoring others.
Need More Ways to Control?
Bird VNAs support a comprehensive set of SCPI control commands which should be familiar to anyone who's programmed test equipment before. These commands expose the full range of VNA capabilities, from calibration to display configuration, to measurement, to data processing. Download the Programming Manual or check out the code examples on Bird's GitHub.
Get Results Quickly
Bird's TVNA software helps you get up and running with your Vector Network Analyzer quickly, so you spend less time configuring a setup and more time getting answers. Flexible analysis and reporting capabilities, and an extensible API, allow you to extend your analysis to custom workflows as needs demand.
