3.3.4 Handling Diagrams, Traces, and Markers
The analyzer displays measurement results as traces in rectangular diagrams. Markers
are used to read specific numerical values and to search for points or regions on a
trace. The following section will make you familiar with some of the graphical tools the
R&S
ZNB/ZNBT provides for trace and marker handling.

for comparison.
To create a new trace,
1. Drag the "New Trace" icon from the toolbar above the diagram area into a diagram.
