Normal   
 
One of the marker types. It is used to measure the X (Frequency or Time) and Y 
(Amplitude) values of a certain point on the trace. When selected, a marker with 
the number of the current marker (such as “1”) appears on the trace.  
 
Key Points: 
  If no active marker exists currently, a marker will be enabled automatically at
