Commands 

MKP 

Cursor position (corresponds to cursor positioning operation in 

analyzer mode) 

If the unit is displaying a menu or is in recall, calibration, or adjust-

ment mode, the command is not valid and error 0003 is returned. 

In sound level meter (SLM) mode, the command is not valid and er-

ror 0003 is returned.

*  In 1/3 octave analysis mode/simultaneous analysis mode, p1 

specifi es the octave band unit, and p2 the 1/3 octave band unit 

as bottom/center/top. 

*  For example, to specify the 1.25 kHz band, use p1 = 8 and p2 =2. 

*  Use p1 = specifi ed frequency and p2 = 1 when set the octave band.
