either Normal or Delta is pressed. There are three control modes for the markers:
Normal (POSition) - A single marker placed at the 0 dB point of the selected value of
Marker Trace that can be moved to any point on the trace.
Delta (DELTa) - Places the selected marker and the next marker at the position of the
previous marker on the specified trace (selected by pressing Marker Trace). The next
marker is the reference marker (set to normal) and the selected marker is a moveable
marker (delta) that you can place at any point on the trace. The difference between the
selected marker and the reference marker is displayed.
Off (Off) - Turns off the active marker.
