Data Analysis

Analyzing Data on the Trace Using the Marker

Specifying the display position of marker values

This section describes how to specify the marker value display position as a percentage for

each active trace.

Figure 6-5 Marker coupling

Marker Info X Pos Specifies the horizontal display position by the width of the display

area as a percentage.

Marker Info Y Pos Specifies the vertical display position by the height of the display area

as a percentage.

Operational procedure

Step 1. Press (or ) to activate the channel for which you want to set

marker coupling.

Step 2. Press .

Step 3. Press Annotation Options.

Step 4. Ptress Marker Info X Pos to set the horizontal display position.

Step 5. Press Marker Info Y Pos to set the vertical display position.
