Deltamarker 3, on the other hand, can be moved for fine adjustment irrespective of
marker 2.
Marker 1 can also be moved manually for re-adjustment without affecting the position
of the deltamarkers.
For general information on measuring the AM modulation depth see Chapter 6.1.1.12,
"Measuring the AM Modulation Depth", on page 336.

The "Marker X" softkey activates the corresponding marker and opens an edit dialog
box to enter a value for the marker to be set to. Pressing the softkey again deactivates
the selected marker.
If a marker value is changed using the rotary knob, the step size is defined via the
Stepsize Standard or Stepsize Sweep Points softkeys.
Marker 1 is always the reference marker for relative measurements. If activated, mark-
ers 2 to 16 are delta markers that refer to marker 1. These markers can be converted
into markers with absolute value display using the "Marker Norm/Delta" softkey. If
marker 1 is the active marker, pressing the "Marker Norm/Delta" softkey switches on
an additional delta marker.

6.1.1.13 Measuring Harmonic Distortion
The harmonics and their distortion can be measured using the "Harmonic Distortion"
on page 225 function.
With this measurement it is possible to measure the harmonics e.g. from a VCO easily.
In addition the THD (total harmonic distortion) is calculated in % and dB.
With span > 0 Hz, an automatic search for the first harmonic is carried out within the
set frequency range. Also the level is adjusted. In zero span, the center frequency is
unchanged.
