Table 7-20: n dB down marker function results

Label

Description

Current position and level of marker 1

ndB

Offset value (n dB down)

ndB down Bw /
PWid

Determined bandwidth or pulse width (zero span) at the offset

Q-factor

Quality factor of the determined bandwidth (characteristic of damping or resonance)

T1, T2

Current position and level of the temporary markers

If the required position for the temporary markers cannot be determined uniquely, for
example due to noise, dashes are displayed as a result.
