Boolean (1 = ON, 0 = OFF)

Default

Off

CALCulate<cnum>:MEASure<mnum>:MARKer:PSATuration:BACKoff <num>

Applicable Models: All

(Read-Write)  Turns on and sets markers 1, 2, and 3 to calculate various Power Saturation parameters.

The <num> parameter sets and reads the back-off value for a Power Saturation marker search.

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

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

Parameters

 

<cnum>

Channel number of the measurement (optional).

<mnum>

Measurement number for each measurement.

<num>

Backoff value. Choose any number between :-500 and 500

CALCulate<cnum>:MEASure<mnum>:MARKer<mkr>:X <num>

Applicable Models: All

(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.

Parameters

 

<cnum>

Channel number of the measurement (optional).

<mnum>

Measurement number for each measurement.

<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.

(When the span value of the sweep range is 0, the range is from 0 to sweep time value.)

Notes: If the specified variable is out of the allowable setup range, the minimum value (if the lower limit of the range is not reached) or the maximum value (if the upper limit of the range is exceeded) is set.

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

<unit>

Hz (hertz), dBm or s (second)

Examples

CALC:MEAS:MARK:X 100Mhz
calculate2:measure1:marker8:x maximum

Query Syntax

CALCulate<cnum>:MEASure<mnum>: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.

(When the span value of the sweep range is 0, the preset value is 0.)

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

Applicable Models: All

(Read-only) Reads the marker's Y-axis value. The format of the value depends on the current CALC:MEAS:MARK: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.

Parameters

 

<cnum>

Channel number of the measurement (optional).

<mnum>

Measurement number for each measurement.

<mkr>

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