MKPX
The default peak-excursion value is 3 dB for signals displayed on a logarithmic scale. This means that any signal with an excursion of less than 3 dB on either side of its bandwidth shape is not identied as a signal. If the marker-peak command, MKPK HI , is executed on such a signal, the analyzer does not place a marker at the signal peak. For signals displayed on a linear scale, the default peak excursion equals
excursion = 1 0 10 | MKPX |
|
200 |
Note that if the peak excursion is too small, noise spikes are identied as signals. Use VAVG or SMOOTH to minimize noise spikes so that signal peaks can be distinguished from noise spikes.
