Description
Initializes spectrum analym
activates singlesweep
mode, changes center
frequency and span,
updates trace.
Places the marker on the
highest point of the trace,
changes the step size to
the marker frequency, activates
marker delta, increase
center frequency,
update trace, places the
marker at highest point
of the trace.
Gets the amplitude of the
marker:
Puts the spectrum analyzer
response in the computer
variable, Delta-Amp.
Gets the frequency of the
marker:
Puts the spectrum analyzer
response in the computer
variable, Deltafreq.
Sets the center-frequency step-size equal to the marker frequency. If in the delta mode, the
step size is set to the delta frequency (absolute value).
