:CALCulate{1-16}[:SELected]:MARKer{1-13}:ACTivate
Description
The command makes the indicated marker of the active trace the active marker. No query.
To find if a marker is active, use the query:
:CALCulate{1-16}[:SELected]:MARKer:ACTivate?
Markers 1 through 12 are standard measurement markers. Marker 13 is the reference marker.
Cmd Parameters
NA
Range
NA
Default Value
0
Syntax Example
:CALC1:MARK1:ACT
 
:CALCulate{1-16}[:SELected]:MARKer{1-13}:MOVe <char1>
Description
The command moves the indicated marker to the indicated location on the active trace on the indicated channel. No query. The available locations are:
• CENTer = Moves the marker to the center of the trace range.
• REFmarker = Moves the marker to the reference marker on the active trace
• STARt = Moves the marker to the start frequency of the active trace
• STOP = Moves the marker to the stop frequency of the active trace
Markers 1 through 12 are standard measurement markers. Marker 13 is the reference marker.
Cmd Parameters
<char1> CENTer | REFmarker | STARt | STOP
Range
NA
Default Value
NA
Syntax Example
:CALC1:MARK1:MOV CENT
 
:CALCulate{1-16}[:SELected]:MARKer{1-13}:SET <char1>
Description
The command sets the start, stop, or center range of the display reference level to the indicated marker range/response on the active trace of the indicated channel. Markers 1 through 12 are standard measurement markers. Marker 13 is the reference marker. No query.
Cmd Parameters
<char1> CENTer | REFmarker | STARt | STOP
Range
NA
Default Value
NA
Syntax Example
:CALC1:MARK1:SET CENT
 
:CALCulate{1-16}[:SELected]:MARKer{1-13}:X <NRf>
:CALCulate{1-16}[:SELected]:MARKer{1-13}:X?
Description
The command enters the frequency, distance, or time of indicated marker on the active trace and turn on. Markers 1 through 12 are standard measurement markers. Marker 13 is the reference marker. The query outputs the frequency, distance, or time of the indicated marker on the active trace.
Cmd Parameters
<NRf> The input parameter is in Hertz, Meters, or Seconds.
Query Parameters
<NR3> The output parameter is in Hertz, Meters, or Seconds.
Range
The range depends on the parameter type setting:
• Frequency = Minimum Instrument Frequency to the Maximum Instrument Frequency
• Time = 1E-9 Seconds to 4E-9 Seconds
• Distance = -29.965E-3 Meters to 1.1988 Meters
Default Value
The default value is always a frequency. The value depends on the installed options:
• If Option 070 – 70 kHz Low End Frequency Extension is installed, the default value = 70 kHz.
• If Option 070 is not installed, the default value = 10 MHz.
Syntax Example
:CALC1:MARK1:X 2.0E7
:CALC1:MARK1:X?
 
:CALCulate{1-16}[:SELected]:MARKer{1-13}:Y?
Description
Query only. The query outputs the response value of the indicated marker on the active trace.Markers 1 through 12 are standard measurement markers. Marker 13 is the reference marker.
See Table: Trace Parameters and Coefficients for a complete listing of trace graph types, default settings, and available ranges.
Query Parameters
<NR3> | <NR3>, <NR3> The output parameters depend on the display type. See Table: Trace Parameters and Coefficients.
