Using Waveform Markers
The signal generator provides four waveform markers to mark specific points on a waveform segment .
When the signal generator encounters an enabled marker, an auxiliary output signal is routed to the
rear panel event connector (described in
Rear Panel ) that corresponds to the marker number. You
can use this auxiliary output signal to synchronize another instrument with the waveform, or as a
trigger signal to start a measurement at a given point on a waveform.
You can also configure markers to initiate ALC hold, or RF Blanking (which includes ALC hold).
Creating a waveform segment ( page 92 ) also creates a marker file that places a marker point on the
first sample point of the segment for markers one and two. When a waveform file is downloaded that
does not have a marker file associated with it, the signal generator creates a marker file without any
marker points. Factory–supplied segments have a marker point on the first sample for all four
markers.
The following procedures demonstrate how to use markers while working in the dual ARB player, but
the process is the same when working in any ARB format.
These procedures also discuss two types of points: a marker point and a sample point. A marker
point is a point at which a given marker is set on a waveform; you can set one or more marker
points for each marker. A
sample point is one of the many points that compose a waveform.
