So, the legacy behavior is preserved, but now you can set the Marker Noise Span as well, and that
setting is preserved when Span is changed
N dB Points
Turns N dB points on or off, and lets you set the N dB value. N dB uses the selected
marker. If the selected marker is not on when N dB is turned on, the selected marker
turns on, as a Normal marker, at center screen, and is used by N dB.

N dB Points Results Queries
You can query the width of the N dB band as well as the right and left edges of the
band. For example, for the signal shown below, the marker is at 100 MHz and each
graticule division represents 200 kHz. The N dB value is -14.7 dB, and this makes
the width of the NdB band 400 kHz. The frequencies at the left and right edge of the
NdB band are as shown, 99.8 MHz and 100.2 MHz:
