Marker Trace
Select one trace for current marker from 1, 2, 3 Math and Auto (default). When
select Auto, the system will search desired trace in the order of “Clear Write”, “Max
Hold”, “Min Hold”, “Video Avg”, “Power Avg” and “Freeze”. If search more than two
traces as result, it will be selected in sequence of trace number 1, 2, 3 accordingly.
Readout
Set the readout type for X-axis. You can set different type for each marker, which
just change the reading mode, not actural value. This setting will influence the
marker readout shown in active area and upper right of screen.
1. Frequency
In this type, Normal marker shows the absolute frequency, and the other types
(Delta, Delta Pair and Span Pair) show the frequency difference between the Delta
Marker and Reference Marker. In non-zero span mode, default readout type is
Frequency.
2. Period
In this type, Normal marker shows the reciprocal value of frequency, and the other
types (Delta, Delta Pair and Span Pair) show the reciprocal value of frequency
difference between the Delta Marker and Reference Marker. When the frequency
difference is zero, the displayed value is inifite and shown as 10Ts. This readout
type is invalid in Zero span mode.
3.
△
Time
In this type, Normal marker shows the time difference between the marker and
sweep start, and the other types (Delta, Delta Pair and Span Pair) show the sweep
time difference between the Delta Marker and Reference Marker. In Zero span
mode, the default readout type is Time.
4. 1/
△
time
In this type, the analyzer shows the reciprocal value of time difference between the
Delta Marker and Reference Marker. When the sweep time difference is zero, the
displayed value is inifite and shown as 100THz. This readout type is only available
when Delta Marker selected under Zero span mode, applicable for measuring of the
frequency of video signal.
Marker Fctn
Set special measuring functions of marker such as Noise Marker, N dB BW and
Frequency Count.
Select Marker
Select marker to be used for the specific measuring, the default is Marker 1.
Noise Marker
Execute the Noise function for the selected marker and reads the Power Spetral
Density.
Key points:
If current marker under
Marker
menu is off, pressing this key will enable it to Normal
type, and then measure the average noise level at the marked point and nomarlize
the value to 1Hz bandwidth. During this process, the system compensates
according to different detector modes and trace types. With the mode of “RMS Avg”
and “Sample”, the measurement will be more accurate.
If the
Delta
Function of marker is on, the noise marker will be enabled and moved to
the floor noise to be measured, in this case, the readouts shows the Sig./Noise ratio.
