User Manual 1321.1011.02 ─ 06.00
The R&S Spectrum Rider shows the corresponding memory trace. If active, it
labels the "Memory <x>" menu item with an active radio button.

Using Trace Mathematics
Trace mathematics subtract the memory trace from the live trace and vice versa and
then display the results.
1. Press the [TRACE] key.
2. Select the "Trace
▶
Memory" softkey.
3. Select the "Show" softkey.
4. Select the "Trace Math" softkey.
5. Select the "Trace-Memory" or ""Memory-Trace"" menu item.
6. The R&S Spectrum Rider calculates and shows the resulting trace.
7. To turn off trace mathematics, select the "Off" menu item.

Using Markers and Deltamarkers
The R&S Spectrum Rider has six markers, five of which can be used as either markers
or delta markers.
The markers cannot leave the trace and indicate the horizontal and vertical coordinates
of the point they are positioned on. The horizontal position of a marker is shown by a
vertical line which extends from the top to the bottom of the measurement diagram.
The marker list above the diagram area shows the exact coordinates of all markers in
use.
The position of a delta marker is indicated by a dashed line to distinguish it from a nor-
mal marker. The delta marker level is always a relative to the main marker level and so
the delta marker level unit is always dB. The delta marker frequency is always relative
to the main marker – in other words, the delta marker frequency is the frequency differ-
