Description Use the MKT command during zero span mode. MKT? queries the marker position in units of time, unless MKREAD IST has been executed, when MKT?

gives the marker position as an inverse of the sweep time at the marker. As a prede￿ned variable, MKT represents either the wavelength or the time position of the active marker and can be very useful during math operations and data analysis. MKT can also position the displayed, active marker on a trace in units of time, relative to the left end of the trace. If the marker is a delta marker, the time is ￿gured relative to the reference marker.
