SCPI Command Reference 6

This command places the selected marker on the next highest signal peak to the right of the current marked peak.

Key access

[Marker] > {Peak search} > {Next Right PK}

Marker Mode

:CALCulate:MARKer[1]23456:MODE

POSitionDELTaOFF

:CALCulate:MARKer[1]23456:MODE?

This command sets the markers to the following mode:

Position

Selects a normal marker that can be positioned on a trace and from which trace information will be generated.

Delta

Activates a pair of markers, one of which is fixed at the current marker location. The other marker can then be moved around on the trace. The marker readout shows the difference between the two markers.

Off

Turns marker off.

Key access:

[Marker] > {Normal}

 

[Marker] > {Delta}

 

[Marker] > {Off}

 

 

Set center frequency to the marker value

:CALCulate:MARKer[1]23456[:SET]:CENTer

This command sets the center frequency equal to the specified marker frequency, which moves the marker to the center of the screen. In delta marker
