Peak Search
Peak Threshold Sets the minimum amplitude of signals that the 
marker can identify as a peak. For example, if a value 
of –90 dBm is selected, the marker moves only to peaks 
that rise and fall more than the peak excursion value 
above –90 dBm. Pressing 
Preset or turning the Power 
on resets the excursion to 6 dB and the threshold to 
−
90  dBm. 
The value of the threshold appears in the 
active-function block and on the lower-left side of the 
display. The threshold level does not influence the trace 
memory or marker position. The value of the peak 
threshold level can be changed using the step keys, the 
knob, or the numeric keypad. Pressing any digit, 0 
through 9, on the numeric keypad brings up the 
selected terminator menu.

Excursion &
Threshold
  When Peak Search is set to Excursion & 
Threshold
, a peak search places a 
marker on a peak that meets the 
Peak 
Excursion
 and Peak Threshold 
parameters. If 
Peak Search Type is set 
to 
Excursion &Threshold and no peak 
satisfies the selected parameters, a 
marker is placed at the center of the 
trace, and the error message, No Peak 
Found will appear. Refer to 
Show Errors 
on page 203, to remove the error 
message.
