5 Key Reference

Marker To

Accesses the following marker function menu keys:

• To Center

Sets the center frequency of the analyzer to the marker frequency. In Delta mode, pressing [Marker]

>{Marker To} > {To Center} sets the center frequency to the marker delta value. The function is not available in zero span.

 

When the frequency scale is in log mode, the center

N O T E

frequency is not at the center of the display.

 

 

 

 

Key access: [MARKER] > {To Center}

 

• To Ref

 

Changes the reference level to the active marker

 

value, moving the marked point to the reference

 

level (top line of the graticule). In Delta mode,

 

pressing [Marker] > {Marker To} > {To Ref} sets the

 

reference level to the amplitude difference between

 

the markers.

 

Key access: [MARKER] > {Marker To}

Mode

Accesses the following menu keys that allows you to change the active marker readout mode.

• Normal

Activates the default readout mode.

Freq Count

Activates a frequency counter mode.

 

Frequency counter is properly effective only on CW signals or

N O T E

discrete peaks. For a valid reading, the marker must be greater

 

 

than 25 dB above the noise.

 

Freq Count function is not supported under Marker Delta

 

condition.
