• The Real added constant shifts a real trace in vertical direction, leaving the imaginary part
unchanged.
• The Imaginary added constant shifts a imaginary trace in vertical direction, leaving the real part
unchanged.
Shifting the trace by means of constant values is a simple case of trace mathematics. Use the
Define Math dialog to define more complicated mathematical operations.

Marker
The functions in the Marker menu are used to position markers on a trace, configure their properties
and select the format of the numerical readout.
Markers
Markers are tools for selecting points on the trace and for numerical readout of measured data. A
marker is displayed with a symbol (a triangle, a crossbar or a line) on the trace, which may be a data
trace or a memory trace. At the same time, the coordinates are displayed in a marker info field or in a
table. Each marker can be defined as a normal marker, reference marker, delta marker or discrete
marker.
Marker types
• A (normal) marker(Mkr 1, Mkr 2, ...) determines the coordinates of a measurement point on the
trace. Up to 10 different normal markers can be assigned to a trace.
• A reference marker(Ref) defines the reference value for all delta markers.
• A delta marker(
 ) indicates the coordinates relative to the reference marker.
• The stimulus value of a discrete marker always coincides with a sweep point.
A special set of markers Mk1 to Mkr4 is provided for bandfilter search mode.
The most common tasks to be performed with markers can be achieved using the Marker menu
functions:
• Determine the coordinates of a measurement point on the trace. In polar diagrams where no x-
axis is displayed, markers can be used to retrieve the stimulus value of specific points.
• Determine the difference between two trace points or the relative measurement result (Delta
Mode).
• Convert a complex measurement result into other formats.
Markers also play an important role in performing the following advanced tasks:
• Change the sweep range and the diagram scale (Marker Funct.).
• Search for specific points on the trace (Search).
