CALCulate Subsystem

Marker X Value

:CALCulate:<measurement>:MARKer[1]234:X <param>

:CALCulate:<measurement>:MARKer[1]234:X?

Position the designated marker on its assigned trace at the specified X value. The parameter value is in X-axis units (which is often frequency or time).

The marker must have already been assigned to a trace. Use :CALCulate:<measurement>:MARKer[1]234:TRACe to assign a marker to a particular trace.

The query returns the current X value of the designated marker. The measurement must be completed before querying the marker.

Example:

CALC:SPEC:MARK2:X 1.2e6 Hz

Default Unit:

Matches the units of the trace on which the marker is

 

positioned

Remarks:

The keyword for the current measurement must be

Marker X Position

:CALCulate:<measurement>:MARKer[1]234:X:POSition

<integer>

:CALCulate:<measurement>:MARKer[1]234:X:POSition?

Position the designated marker on its assigned trace at the specified X position. A trace is composed of a variable number of measurement points. This number changes depending on the current measurement conditions. The current number of points must be identified before using this command to place the marker at a specific location.

The marker must have already been assigned to a trace. Use :CALCulate:<measurement>:MARKer[1]234:TRACe to assign a marker to a particular trace.

The query returns the current X position for the designated marker. The measurement must be completed before querying the marker.

Example:

CALC:SPEC:MARK:X:POS 500

Range:

0 to a maximum of (3 to 920,000)

Remarks:

The keyword for the current measurement must be
