Marker
Note that the data values averaged will not always be 
symmetrical with respect to the marker position. If the 
marker is positioned within 2.5% of the beginning of 
the trace (one-quarter division), the trace data values 
in the first half-division will be averaged. Similarly, if 
the marker is positioned within 2.5% of the end of the 
trace, the trace data values in the last half-division will 
be averaged. 
NOTE Do not use Marker Noise to evaluate the displayed average noise level 
of the analyzer relative to the specification. Read the displayed average 
noise level directly from the display or use the normal marker. Refer to 
Application Note 150 for a discussion of how noise is displayed on a 
spectrum analyzer.
To guarantee accurate data for noise-like signals, a 
correction for equivalent noise bandwidth for each 
resolution bandwidth is measured and included in the 
measurement. The Marker Noise function accuracy is 
optimal when the detector is set either to Average or to 
Sample because neither of these detectors peak-biases 
the noise.

Marker Table 
On Off
Compresses the graticule and displays marker information in a table. 
The information includes the marker number, trace number, marker 
type, X axis value, and the amplitude.
