Mode
Marker X Axis Position (Remote Command Only)
Sets the marker X position in trace points. It has no effect if the control mode is Off, but is 
the SCPI equivalent of entering a value if the control mode is Normal or Delta except in 
trace points rather than X Axis Scale units. The entered value is immediately translated 
into the current X Axis Scale units for setting the value of the marker.
SCPI Resolution Determined by the number of sweep points and type/start/stop 
of the X Axis scale. 
- With a Frequency X Axis scale,
Resolution = (Stop Freq - Start Freq) / (Sweep points - 1)
Example - With default settings after a preset (6 GHz 
Instrument):
Resolution = (6 GHz - 100 kHz) / (401 -1) = 14999.75 kHz
- With a Time X Axis scale, 
Resolution = (Sweep Time - Start Time) / (Sweep points - 1)
Example - With default settings after set Span to Zero
Resolution = (27.307 ms - 0 s) / (401 -1) = 68.2675 µs

Remote Command Notes You must be in the SA mode to use this command. Use 
INSTrument:SELect to set the mode.
The query returns the marker's absolute X Axis value in trace 
points if the control mode is Normal, or the offset from the 
marker's reference marker in trace points if the control mode is 
Delta. If the marker is Off the response is not a number (NAN).
Dependencies / 
Couplings
Marker X parameter is coupled with the Type/Start/Stop of the 
X Axis scale and by the number of sweep points used by the 
measurement.
