Marker Trace (CAT and NA modes) 
The Marker Trace setting is used to move markers between the data trace and 
memory trace.  
When Coupled Markers is ON, this setting applies to the active marker for ALL 
traces that are coupled. Otherwise, this setting applies to the active marker on 
only the active trace. 
How to move a marker between traces 
  With at least one marker present, press Marker  then More. 
  Then select the marker to move using  Marker 1,2,3,4,5,6. 
  Then toggle Marker Trace Auto Data Mem. 
o  Auto - Marker resides on data trace when it is visible. Marker resides on 
memory trace when only IT is visible (Default setting). 
o  Data - Marker resides on data trace, even when not visible. 
o  Mem - Marker resides on memory trace, even when not visible. If a memory 
trace is not stored, the marker moves to 0.0 dB at the same X-axis position. 
Marker Trace (SA Mode) 
Marker Trace determines the trace number on which a marker resides. A marker 
is created on, or can later be changed to, the trace number specified by the  
Marker Trace selection. When changed, a marker moves to the same X-axis 
location on the specified trace. Learn more about SA Traces on page 89.  
How to move a marker between traces 
  With two or more traces present, press Marker and Enter to create a marker. 
The marker is created on the current Marker Trace selection (default setting is 
1). 
  Then More  
  Then select the marker to move using  Marker 1,2,3,4,5,6. 
  Then toggle Marker Trace 1,2,3,4 
o  The selected marker is moved to the specified trace.  
When a marker is moved to a ‘blank’ trace (not visible) the marker moves to  
the same X-axis position at either the Y-axis position of the last data, or to 
the ZERO position.  
Marker Format 
The Marker Format setting is available in NA Mode in either Smith Chart or Polar 
display format. Choose the format of the marker readout (upper right corner of 
screen).  Learn how to set display format on page 43.
