Meas Off (Spectrum Analyzer) Measurement
Mode
Frequency  Sets the Marker Readout (Marker X Axis scale) to Frequency, displaying the 
absolute frequency of a normal marker or the frequency of the delta marker relative to the 
reference marker. 
Period  Sets the Marker Readout (Marker X Axis scale) to Period, displaying the reciprocal 
of the frequency of the marker, or the reciprocal of the frequency separation of the two 
markers in a delta-marker mode. In non-zero span, this is 1/frequency. The units are those 
of time (s, ms, etc.).
Remote Command :CALCulate:MARKer[1]|2|3|4:X:READout 
FREQuency|TIME|ITIMe|PERiod
:CALCulate:MARKer[1]|2|3|4:X:READout?
SCPI Example CALC:MARK3:X 1GHz activates the Marker3 and positions it 
on the trace at 1GHz.
Remote Command Notes This feature is only available for the SA measurement in 
Spectrum Analyzer Mode.
In Time Domain, only “Time” & “Inverse Time” are valid as 
parameters. “Frequency” & “Period” softkey are grayed out. 
“Inverse Time” is grayed out as well if the Marker Mode is not 
set to Delta.
“Inverse Time” is not a valid parameter in Frequency Domain, 
so the associated softkey is always grayed out.
Preset/Default Depending on the Trace Domain. If domain is Frequency, 
default is Frequency; if Domain is Time, default is Time.
