Good news for Khalid..

I use NanoVNA-Saver a lot, but lately, i've been using a more stripped
down program nanovna.py (that is for the original ones only, I think),
because it has a useful command line interface.

I've been looking at NanoVNA-Saver to see if I could split it into a
front end/backend architecture - front end for the (optional) GUI, back
end for the "run the VNA" - but it looks to be a fair amount of work. I
like the multiplatform aspect of NanoVNA-Saver and a somewhat richer
feature set (i.e. calibrations).

Hi Jim,

I also like the multi-platform aspects of NanoVNA-Saver, but wanted a
command line interface.

I wrote a simple Python script, attached, which provides a command line or
Jupyter notebook interface to the NanoVNA-Saver internals for calibration,
frequency domain measurements, and TDR measurements.

It worked well for a class I taught last semester using the V2 and V2Plus4.

Regards,
Kevin

This is quite nice.. thanks.. you should do a pull request and see if
you can add it to nanovna-saver...
