Using Markers

1.Press Markers.

This opens a table editor and associated marker control softkeys. You can use up to 10 different markers, labeled 0 through 9.

2.Press Marker Freq and select a frequency value within the range of your sweep.

In the table editor, notice how the state for marker 0 automatically turns on. The marker also appears on the 8757D display.

3.Use the arrow keys to move the cursor in the table editor to marker 1 and select a frequency value within the range of your sweep, but different from marker 0.

Notice that marker 1 is activated and is the currently selected marker, indicated by the marker arrow pointing down. As you switch between markers, using the arrow keys, you will notice that the selected marker’s arrow points down, while all others point up.

Notice also that the frequency and amplitude data for the currently selected marker is displayed on the 8757D.
