Markers.
The
instrument
uses
three
typ€s
of
markers:
Waveform
Markers.
_
When
the
Marker
function
is
enabled,
it
provides
a
movable
cursor
with
readout
of
frequency
and
amplitude
at
the
marker
position.
When
the
delta
marker
mode
is
enabled,
a
second
marker
allows
operations
and
readout
between
the two_
marker positions.
