(Read-Write) Sets and reads the data point (bucket) number of the trace on which the marker resides. When the markers are interpolated (non-discrete), the returned value is the nearest marker bucket position.

See Critical Note

Parameters

<cnum>

Channel number of the measurement. There must be a selected measurement on that channel. If unspecified, <cnum> is set to 1.

<n>

Marker number to move or query. The marker must already exist. If unspecified, <n> is set to 1.

<num>

Data point (bucket) number. Choose any data point between: 0 and the number of data points minus 1.

Examples

CALC:MARK:BUCK 5

calculate2:marker2:bucket 200

Query Syntax

CALCulate:MARKer commands are Superseded by the CALCulate:MEASure:MARKer commands.

(Read-Write) Turns on and sets markers 1 through 4 to calculate filter bandwidth. The <num> parameter sets the value below the maximum bandwidth peak that establishes the bandwidth of a filter. For example, if you want to determine the filter bandwidth 3 db below the bandpass peak value, set <num> to -3.

To turn off the Bandwidth markers, either turn them off individually or turn them All Off.

The analyzer screen will show either Bandwidth statistics OR Trace statistics; not both.

To search a User Range with the bandwidth search, first activate marker 1 and set the desired User Range. Then send the CALC:MARK:BWID command. The user range used with bandwidth search only applies to marker 1 searching for the max value. The other markers may fall outside the user range.

<cnum>

Channel number of the measurement. There must be a selected measurement on that channel. If unspecified, <cnum> is set to 1.

<mkr>

Any marker number from 1 to 15; if unspecified, value is set to 1

<char>

Choose from:

• NORMal - a marker that stays on the assigned X-axis position unless moved or searching.

• FIXed - a marker that will not leave the assigned X or current Y-axis position.

Examples

CALC:MARK:TYPE NORM
calculate2:marker2:type fixed

Query Syntax

CALCulate<cnum>:MARKer<mkr>:TYPE?

Return Type

Character

Default

NORMal

Applicable Models: N522xB, N523xB, N524xB, M937xA, P937xA

CALCulate:MARKer commands are Superseded by the CALCulate:MEASure:MARKer commands.

(Read-Write) Sets the marker's X-axis value (frequency, power, or time). If the marker is set as delta, the SET and QUERY data is relative to the reference marker.

See Critical Note

Parameters

<cnum>

Channel number of the measurement. There must be a selected measurement on that channel. If unspecified, <cnum> is set to 1.

<mkr>

Any marker number from 1 to 15; if unspecified, value is set to 1.

<num>

Any X-axis position within the measurement span of the marker.

Note: This command will accept MIN or MAX instead of a numeric parameter. See SCPI Syntax for more information.

Examples

CALC:MARK:X 100Mhz
calculate2:marker8:x maximum

Query Syntax

CALCulate<cnum>:MARKer<mkr>:X?

Return Type

Numeric

Default

First Marker turns ON in the middle of the X-axis span. Subsequent markers turn ON at the position of the active marker.

Applicable Models: N522xB, N523xB, N524xB, M937xA, P937xA

CALCulate:MARKer commands are Superseded by the CALCulate:MEASure:MARKer commands.

(Read-only) Reads the marker's Y-axis value. The format of the value depends on the current CALC:MARKER:FORMAT setting. If the marker is set as delta, the data is relative to the reference marker. The query always returns two numbers:

• Smith and Polar formats - (Real, Imaginary)

• LINPhase and LOGPhase - (Real, Imaginary)

• All other formats - (Value,0)

Note: To accurately read the marker Y-axis value with trace smoothing applied, the requested format must match the displayed format. Otherwise, the returned value is un-smoothed data. For example, to read the smoothed marker value when measuring group delay, both the display format and the marker format must be set to (Group) Delay.

See Critical Note

Parameters

<cnum>

Channel number of the measurement. There must be a selected measurement on that channel. If unspecified, <cnum> is set to 1.

<mkr>

Any marker number from 1 to 15; if unspecified, value is set to 1.

Examples

CALC:MARK:Y?
calculate2:marker3:y?

Query Syntax

CALCulate<cnum>:MARKer<mkr>:Y?

Return Type

Numeric

Default
