Log: VNAs & Telemetry (New Features)

Commits: e068a1e, fa6d67c, f154ee8

Overview

A massive push to add high-end instrument support and better telemetry tools. We also spent some time making sure the documentation actually matches the code.

Technical Lowdown

  • VNA Support: Added full support for Vector Network Analyzers. You can now use VNA or NA aliases in the factory.
  • VFP Bridge: Implemented a bridge that relays UDP telemetry packets to WebSockets for live dashboarding.
  • Complex Data: Added get_complex_trace() for S-parameter measurements (Real + Imaginary support).
  • Docs Sync: Scrubbed the docs/ folder to ensure every code snippet in the markdown files actually works with the new standalone examples.

Why it matters

The HAL is moving beyond basic DMMs and PSUs. Adding VNA support and live telemetry makes it a serious tool for RF engineering and long-term characterization tests.
