Marker
If Auto Init is set to On for a marker and that marker is on, that marker’s Marker Trace is
immediately set according to the above flowchart.
Sending the remote command causes the addressed marker to become selected.

Backwards Compatibility
Notes The Marker Trace Auto function in legacy analyzers has been replaced by Marker Trace Auto
Init, but the same SCPI command is used for the new function. This should work fine for most
legacy users. See the sections on
"Auto Init On" on page 707 , "Auto Init OFF" on page 708 and
the "Auto Init Rules Flowchart" on page 707 for details.
The new auto functionality causes markers to automatically go to the appropriate trace when the
marker is first turned on. Users who counted on markers changing traces when a trace was put
in or out of View will have to modify their code.
Initial S/W Revision Prior to A.02.00
Marker Trace
Selects the trace that you want your marker to be placed on. A marker is associated with one and
only one trace. This trace is used to determine the placement, result, and X Axis Scale of the
marker. All markers have an associated trace, even Fixed markers; it is from that trace that they
determine their attributes and behaviors, and it is to that trace that they go when they become
Normal or Delta markers.

Key Path Marker, Properties
Remote Command :CALCulate:MARKer[1]|2|...12:TRACe 1|2|3|4|5|6
:CALCulate:MARKer[1]|2|...12:TRACe?
Example CALC:MARK1:TRAC 2 places marker 1 on trace 2.
Notes A marker may be placed on a blanked and/or inactive trace, even though the trace is not visible
and/or updating.
An application may register a trace name to be displayed on the key instead of a trace number.
Couplings The state of Marker Trace is not affected by the Auto Couple key.
If a Marker Trace is chosen manually, Auto Init goes to Off for that marker.
Sending the remote command causes the addressed marker to become selected.
Preset Presets on Preset or All Markers Off
State Saved The Marker Trace and state of Auto Init for each marker is saved in instrument state.
