the RF to the current marker position, then counts the zero crossings of the IF (thus the
term signal
counter
) and derives the precise frequency value.
Signal counting can be performed explicitly at the current marker position ( "Signal
Count" marker function), or implicitly by the R&S
FPL1000 for certain functions.
Signal counting is only possible while the instrument is not sweeping. Thus, to perform
a signal count for a marker, the sweep is stopped at the marker position. The fre-
quency is determined with the desired resolution and then the sweep is allowed to con-
tinue.
A measurement example is described in
"Measuring the Signal Frequency Using the
Signal counters are not available for measurements on I/Q-based data.

Signal Count Marker State
Activates or deactivates the special signal count marker function.
When activated, the sweep stops at the reference marker until the signal counter has
delivered a result.
Remote command:
CALCulate<n>:MARKer<m>:COUNt:FREQuency?
Resolution
Defines the resolution with which the signal is analyzed around the reference marker 1.
Remote command:
CALCulate<n>:MARKer<m>:COUNt:RESolution
