Marker Control Mode
There are four control modes for markers:
l
Normal
(POSition) - A marker that can be moved to any point on the X Axis by specifying its X
Axis value, and who's absolute Y Axis value is then the value of the trace point at that X Axis
value.
l
Delta
(DELTa) - A marker that can be moved to any point on the X Axis by specifying its X
Axis offset from a reference marker, and whose absolute Y Axis value is then the value of the
trace point at that X Axis value.
l
Fixed
(FIXed) - A marker whose X Axis and Y Axis values may be directly or indirectly
specified by you, but whose Y Axis value remains fixed, once specified, and does not follow
the trace. Fixed markers are useful as reference markers for Delta markers, as operands in a
Peak Search operation, and as arbitrary reference points settable by you. These markers are
represented on the display by an “X” rather than a diamond.
l
Off
(OFF) - A marker that is not in use.
In the Swept SA measurement, the Preset control mode is Off for all markers.
Setting/Querying the Marker X Axis Value
The command below sets the marker X Axis value in the current marker X Axis Scale unit. In each
case the marker that is addressed becomes the selected marker. It has no effect (other than to
cause the marker to become selected) if the control mode is Off, but it is the SCPI equivalent of
entering an X value if the control mode is Normal,Delta, or Fixed.
