Operation
Markers Display
Rectangular markers show absolute values i n the readout. The readout of the selected marker appears in the upper left
corner of the display and in the Marker toolbar.
Diamond markers show delta values (relative to the reference marker). The delta readout of the selected m arker appears
in the upper right corner of the display and in the Marker toolbar.
When you drag markers along a trace with either the touch screen or the mouse, the marker will seek the high points.
The marker stays within 20 trace points of the mouse position. If there are no peaks within the current range of trace
points, the marker finds the highest point.
When you attach the marker to the bitmap trace in the DPX spectrum display, the marker readout indicates the hit c ount
for pixels (maximum 65,536) along with frequency and power (see the following figure). You can position the marker
at any point in the graph.
If Option 200 is installed, markers attached to the DPX bitmap display the signal density in percent at the selected pixel,
rather then the hit count.
Quick Tips
If m a rkers are turned off, click Peak in the Marker toolbar or on the front panel to add the marker reference (MR) and to
position it on the maximum peak level on the trace in the selected display.
Click Table in the Marker toolbar to open a tabular display showing the marker information.
