Markers (Timing)

The Markers field allows you to specify how the X and O markers will be positioned on the timing data. The options are:

Off

Time

Patterns

Statistics

Markers Off/ Sample Period

When the markers are off they are not visible and the sample rate is displayed. In transitional timing mode, the sample rate will always be 10 ns. In Glitch, the sample period is controlled by the s/Div setting and can be monitored by turning the markers off.

Note

Markers Time

The sample period displayed is the sample period of the last acquisition. If you change the s/Div setting, you must touch Run to initiate another acquisition before the sample period is updated.

Although the markers are off, the logic analyzer still performs statistics, so if you have specified a stop measurement condition the measurement will stop if the pattern specified for the markers is found.

When the markers are set to Time, you can place the markers on the waveforms at events of interest and the logic analyzer will tell you:
