The following table describes how a complex marker value z = x + jy is converted. It
makes use of the polar representation z = x + jy = |z| e
jφ(z)
, where
|z| = ( x
2
+ y
2
)
1/2
and φ(z) = arctan( y / x )
Table 9-2: Marker formats
Marker Format Description Formula
Default
●
For an individual marker, this means that
the marker is formatted according to the
default marker format of the related trace.
●
For a trace's default marker format, this
means that the default format is (dynamically)
adjusted according to the selected trace for-
mat.
