Reference Marker Off or On
If Ref. Mkr is set to OFF, the label is formatted as:
Mkr # [OFF] if the marker is off (where # is the marker number).
Mkr # [ON] if the marker is on.
For example, Marker 1 would be labeled either Mkr #1 [OFF] or Mkr #1 [ON].
If Ref. Mkr. is set to ON, the label is formatted as:
Mkr#-Ref [OFF] if the marker is off.
Mkr#-Ref [ON] if the marker is on.
For example, Marker 1 would be labeled either Mkr#1-Ref [OFF] or Mkr#1-Ref [ON].

Naming Conventions for Marker Buttons and Toolbars
The following conventions are used to label the marker buttons and toolbars in this section.
Marker Buttons
Mkr # [Ref] [OFF/ON] is used for all button names (where # is the number of the marker).
For example, Mkr1 [Ref] [OFF/ON] is used for the Marker 1 button when it is labeled Mkr 1 [OFF], Mkr 1 [ON], Mkr1-Ref [OFF], or Mkr1-Ref [ON].
Marker Toolbars
Mkr # [Ref] [ON] is used for all marker toolbars (where # is the number of the marker).
For example, Mkr1-[Ref] [ON] is used for the Marker 1 toolbar when it is labeled Mkr 1 [ON] or Mkr1-Ref [ON].
Note the marker must be on for the toolbar to be available.
