Off 
Turn off the marker currently selected. The marker information displayed on the 
screen and functions based on the marker will also be turned off. 
Mkr Trace 
Select the trace to be marked by the current marker from 1, 2, 3, Math or Auto 
(default). When Auto is selected, the system searches for the desired trace in the 
order of Clear Write, Max Hold, Min Hold, Video Avg, Power Avg and Freeze; then 
selects one from them in the sequence of the trace number 1, 2 and 3 if more than 
two traces are found. 
Readout 
Select a desired readout type of the X-axis for the marker and different markers 
can use different readout types. This setting will change the readout type and 
affect the marker readings in the active function area and at the upper right corner 
of the screen, but will not change the actual value.  
  Frequency 
In this type, Normal marker shows the absolute frequency; while Delta 
marker, Delta Pair marker and Span Pair marker show the frequency 
difference between the delta marker and reference marker. The default 
readout mode in non-zero span mode is “Frequency”. 
Note: This type is invalid in Zero span mode. 
  Period   
In this type, Normal marker shows the reciprocal of frequency; while Delta 
marker, Delta Pair marker and Span Pair marker show the reciprocal of 
frequency difference. When the frequency difference is zero, the reciprocal is 
infinite and 10 Ts is displayed.  
Note: This type is invalid in Zero span mode.
