Description
The marker types are as follows:
PSN allows markers to be positioned according to the horizontal position on the display. The
marker type is set to PSN after an instrument preset.
AMP allows markers to be positioned according to amplitude, as shown in the example. If
two or more points on the trace are at the same amplitude, the marker is moved to the
closest point on the trace with the correct amplitude. If no point on the trace is at the
specified amplitude, the marker is placed at the specified amplitude and not on the trace.
FIXED allows a marker to be placed at any fixed point on the spectrum analyzer screen. The
position of the marker cannot be changed unless another marker type is used.
Use “MKTYPE PSN” to return from using the AMP, FIXED, or DELTA types.
