Explanation

The instrument detects the peak (the maximum level value) or bottom (the minimum level 
value) of the measured waveform.

PEAK SEARCH

A peak search (a search for the maximum level value) is performed on the active trace 
waveform. The moving marker is displayed at the peak point, and the marker value is 
displayed in the data area. If the peak is off the screen, its marker is displayed at the 
top or bottom edge of the screen. Even in this situation, the correct marker value is 
displayed.
After the measurement has completed, you can use the rotary knob to move the moving 
marker. You can use the arrow keys to scroll through the data area.

BOTTOM SEARCH

A bottom search (a search for the minimum level value) is performed on the active trace 
waveform. The moving marker is displayed at the bottom point, and the marker value 
is displayed in the data area. If the bottom is off the screen, its marker is displayed at 
the top or bottom edge of the screen. Even in this situation, the correct marker value is 
displayed.
After the measurement has completed, you can use the rotary knob to move the moving 
marker. You can use the arrow keys to scroll through the data area.

NEXT LEVEL SEARCH

Sets a moving marker at the peak (maximum level value) or bottom (minimum level 
value) which follows the currently set moving marker value (level value) in the active 
trace waveform. If there is no such peak or bottom, a warning data is displayed. 

WARNING 103 : No data in active trace

NEXT SEARCH RIGHT

Sets a moving marker at the peak (maximum level value) or bottom (minimum level 
value) to the right of the currently set moving marker value (level value) in the active 
trace waveform. If there is no such peak or bottom, a warning data is displayed. 

WARNING 103: No data in active trace

NEXT SEARCH LEFT

Sets a moving marker at the peak (maximum level value) or bottom (minimum level 
value) to the left of the currently set moving marker value (level value) in the active trace 
waveform. If there is no such peak or bottom, a warning data is displayed. 

WARNING 103 : No data in active trace

SET MARKER  

SET

Sets the moving marker as a fixed marker with the specified number. 
A number from 001 to 1024 can be specified. The default is one greater than the highest 
fixed marker number among the currently set markers, or the number 001 if no markers 
have been set). If the MARKER ACTIVE soft key turns OFF, the SET MARKER soft key 
is disabled. 

CLEAR MARKER 

CLEAR

Clears the specified fixed marker number. The marker value in the data area is also 
cleared. The fixed marker number to be cleared (default value) is the last set fixed 
marker number.
