Three marker output signals are available in each baseband. All marker signals can be
output at the provided connectors but not always at the same time (see Chap-
ter 12.2.2.5, "Internal Resources for the Trigger, Marker, Clock and Control Signals",
on page 719). The mapping of the marker output signal to the output connector is con-
figurable.

Marker Modes
The marker mode is a characteristic for the shape and the periodicity of the marker.
The R&S SMW provides several different modes to define different marker signals.
Most of them are specific for each of the firmware options. This section focuses only on
the general commonly available marker signals.
The marker mode is a characteristic for the shape and the periodicity of the marker.
The R&S SMW provides several different modes to define different marker signals, that
are described in the following sections.
Generally, the marker signal can change from "On" (high) to "Off" (low) state or vice
versa after some period of time. The instrument provides various ways to describe the
marker signal. Use the method that best suits your needs.
Marker mode restart
The generated marker signal is a single "On" pulse. The rising edge of this pulse is
generated at the signal generation start as well as at each subsequent signal restart
time. This marker can be used to monitor the effects of the selected trigger, e.g. trigger
causing restarts of the signal generation.
