Markers
Of course we need to see more information about the carrier. Let’s add a marker. Click the
MARKERS button and then the Marker 1 menu item. A single marker is added at mid span with the
frequency and power shown in the Marker Legend at the bottom. Let’s move the marker to the
peak. Click the Function menu item and select Peak Search. The peak power value is shown in
Figure 7 in the Marker Legend at -57.51 dBm.
Figure 7 Normal Markers
This example showed use of individual markers, but the markers can also be used in delta mode,
which will allow you to determine the total power in a modulated carrier, by placing one marker on
either side of the carrier. This is explained in more detail in the Carrier Monitoring section.
Total Elapsed Time: 9 minutes
