Marker
This hardkey accesses the marker control softkeys to select
the type and number of markers. Markers are
diamond- shaped characters that identify points of traces. Up
to six pairs of markers may appear on the display
simultaneously; only one pair can be controlled at a time.
The marker that is controlled is called the “active” marker.
Pressing MARKER activates the Normal menu key.
Marker Selects one of the twelve possible markers. If a marker has
already been selected it will become the active marker.

Marker Trace
Auto 1 2 3 4
Places a marker on the selected trace, if no markers have
been previously turned on. If a marker is currently active,
press Marker Trace until 1, 2, 3, or 4 is underlined: the active
marker moves to the selected trace.
Selecting Auto mode moves the marker to the automatically
selected trace. The trace selection will search for the lowest
numbered trace in the following mode order: Clear-write,
Max-hold, Min-hold and View. If there are no traces in any of
these modes, it selects trace 1.

Mode
Normal Activates a single frequency marker at the center of
the active trace if not already displayed.
Displaying a marker before enabling the Normal function
enables the marker at the position of the selected marker.
The marker number shows above the marker. The knob
and/or arrow keys move the marker left or right. Entering a
value from the numeric keypad moves the marker to the
trace point nearest to that value. Annotation in the active
function block and in the upper- right corner indicates the
frequency and amplitude of the marker (time and amplitude,
if in zero span.) Pressing Normal turns off the Delta function
and moves the active marker to the delta marker position.
