Figure 5-9. Frequency and Amplitude of the Peaks

If the FRQ parameter is used with the PEAKS command, the programming example returns the

values that shown in the following table.

If the AMP parameter is used with the PEAKS command, the programming example returns

the values that are shown in the following table.

Notice that MKA? and MKF? are used to determine the amplitude and frequency of the peak

position.

PEAKS sorts only signals that are above the threshold value. To be classified as a signal peak,

a signal must be MKPX above the threshold value and it must rise and fall at least the peak

excursion (MKPX value). To change the threshold, use the TH command before PEAKS is

executed.

If necessary, the last sorted value is repeated to fill remaining elements of the destination trace.

PEAKS must be used as either a query or as a source in another spectrum analyzer-command

function. Form a query by ending the PEAKS statement with a

“?.”

When used as a query,

PEAKS returns the number of peaks found. When querying the trace elements of destination

trace, the x-axis coordinate (relative to the first trace element) of the peak is returned.
