OUTPUT 718;"MKP 100;" Mioves the active marker to a element 100 of trace A.
Description
If no marker is active, the marker is turned on with preset type (position) and marker is placed
at the given screen position. The marker is placed on the first displayed trace that is found (in
order): trace A, trace B, or trace C.
If the marker delta mode is active, the value of the marker position is relative to the fixed
marker, and therefore MKP can return a negative position.
Note that MKP and MKCF commands perform different functions. MKCF sets the center
frequency equal to the marker frequency and moves the marker to the center of the screen.
MKP places the marker to the position of the element specified.
