MKDLMODE
Marker Delta Display Line Mode
When the marker table is turned on, MKDLMODE selects if the marker amplitude values are
shown as relative to the reference level (normal mode) or relative to the display line (delta
mode).
Syntax
Equivalent Softkey: TABLE ADL NRM .
Preset State: 0 (normal mode).
Related Commands: DL, MKTBL.
Example
norma I
XMKDLMODE
OUTPUT 718;"MOV MKTBL,l;" Turns on the marker table.
OUTPUT 718;"DL -20;" Sets the display line.
OUTPUT 718;"MOV MKDLMODE,l;" Displays the marker amplitudes values relative to the
display line.
Description
If MKDLMODE is set to 0, the spectrum analyzer displays absolute marker amplitudes or
marker delta amplitudes (normal mode). If MKDLMODE is set to 1, the spectrum analyzer
displays the marker amplitudes relative to the display line (delta mode). Setting MKDLMODE to
1 turns on the display line automatically. Use the DL command to place the display line.
MKDLMODE determines the way the marker amplitudes are displayed in the marker table only,
it does not change the marker amplitude values that are returned remotely.
You can execute the MKDLMODE command two different ways. You can either execute the
MKDLMODE command directly (for example, "MKDLMODE 1; I’) or use the MOV command to
move the 1 or 0 into the MKDLMODE command (for example, "MOV MKDLMODE,l;"). If you use
the MOV command, no text is displayed in the active function area during command execution.
