Example
:CALCulate:MARKer1:RELative:TO:MARK 3
3.6.1.6 Marker X Value (:CALCulate:MARKer[1]|2|3|4|5|6|7|8:X)
Command
Format
:CALCulate:MARKer[1]|2|3|4|5|6|7|8:X <para>
:CALCulate:MARKer[1]|2|3|4|5|6|7|8:X?
Instruction
This command positions the designated marker on its assigned trace at the
specified trace X value.
The value is in the X-axis units, which can be a frequency or time.
The query returns the current X value of the designated marker.
When the readout mode is frequency, the query returns the X value of the span
of the marker in integer and the unit is “Hz”.
When the readout mode is time or period, the query returns the X value of the
span of the marker in scientific notation and the unit is “s”.
Reference Command:
:CALCulate:MARKer[1]|2|3|4|5|6|7|8:X:READout
Parameter
Type
Frequency: Float, unit: Hz, KHz, MHz, GHz, Default “Hz”
Time: Float, unit: us, ms, s, ks, Default “s”
Parameter
Range

(:CALCulate:MARKer[1]|2|3|4|5|6|7|8:Y?)
Command
Format
:CALCulate:MARKer[1]|2|3|4|5|6|7|8:Y?
Instruction
This command reads the current Y value for the designated marker.
