CALCulate:SMONitor:MARKer:ALL:STATe

Function

This command determines whether all markers are turned on or turned off.

Setting

Range: 1|ON|0|OFF

Query

Range: 1|ON|0|OFF

*RST Setting OFF

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"CALCulate:SMONitor:MARKer:ALL:STATe 1" 
 
!Turns on all markers.

CALCulate:SMONitor:MARKer[<n>] :AMPLitude?

Function

This query returns the amplitude for marker <n>, where <n> is a number 1 through 3. When no marker number is specified, marker 1 is used.

If you are using delta marker mode, the result is the delta marker amplitude result. (See CALCulate:SMONitor:MARKer[<n>] :MODE .)

Query

Range

  • Position Mode: -180 dBm to +37 dBm

  • Delta Mode: -200 dB to +200 dB

Resolution: 0.01 dB

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"CALCulate:SMONitor:MARKer2:AMPLitude?" !Returns the amplitude of marker 2.

CALCulate:SMONitor:MARKer[<n>]:FREQuency

Function

This command sets/queries the frequency of marker <n>. where <n> is a number 1 through 3. When no marker number is specified, marker 1 is used.

If you are using delta marker mode, this command sets/queries the offset frequency of the delta marker. (See CALCulate:SMONitor:MARKer[<n>] :MODE .)

Query

Range:

  • Position Mode

    Range: This is dependent on the settings of the center frequency and the frequency span. The markers frequency range is therefore equal to the center frequency +/- half the frequency span.

    Resolution: 0.001 MHz

  • Delta Mode:

    Range: The range is dependent on the center frequency, the frequency span and the position of the reference marker.

    Resolution: 0.001 MHz

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"CALCulate:SMONitor:MARKer:FREQuency?" 
 
!Queries the frequency of marker 1.

CALCulate:SMONitor:MARKer[<n>] :MODE

Function

This command sets the mode of the marker.

Position mode activates a single frequency marker at the center frequency.

Delta mode freezes the marker at its current location and uses it as a reference marker. A second marker is created at the position of the reference marker and is used a delta marker.

Setting

Range: POSition|DELTa|OFF

Query

Range: POS|DELT|OFF

*RST Setting Off

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"CALCulate:SMONitor:MARKer:MODE DELT" 
 
!Sets a reference marker and creates a delta marker.

CALCulate:SMONitor:MARKer:PEAK:EXCursion[:LEVel]

Function

This command sets the peak excursion level. A peak is identified by using the peak threshold and peak excursion value. A point is only marked as a peak if it rises and falls more than the peak excursion value from the peak threshold value. Setting this command to DEFault sets it to 6 dB.

Setting

Range: 1 to 100 dB | DEFault

Resolution: 0.1 dB

Query

Range: 1 to 100 dBResolution: 0.1 dB

*RST Setting

6 dB

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"CALCulate:SMONitor:MARKer:PEAK:EXCursion 20DB" 
 
!Sets the peak excursion level to 20 dB.

CALCulate:SMONitor:MARKer[<n>] :PEAK:MAXimum

Function

This command moves the specified marker <n> (1 to 3) to the highest peak value. If no marker <n> is specified, then marker 1 is moved.

An error message is returned if no peaks were found in the trace.

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"CALCulate:SMONitor:MARKer2:PEAK:MAXimum" 
 
!Moves marker 2 to the highest peak value on the selected trace.

CALCulate:SMONitor:MARKer:PEAK:THReshold[:LEVel]

Function

This command sets peak threshold level. A peak is identified by using the peak threshold and peak excursion value. A point is only marked as a peak if it rises and falls more than the peak excursion value from the peak threshold value. Setting this command to DEFault sets it to -90 dBm.

Setting

Range: -120 to +37 dBm | DEFault

Resolution: 0.1

Query

Range: -120 to +37 dBmResolution: 0.1

*RST Setting

-90 dBm

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"CALCulate:SMONitor:MARKer:PEAK:THReshold:LEVel 10DBM" 

CALCulate:SMONitor:MARKer[<n>] [:SET]:EXPected:POWer

Function

This command sets the base station emulator's expected power to the amplitude of the specified marker.

There are three markers <n> (1 to 3) that can be set. If no <n> is specified, marker 1 is used.

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"CALCulate:SMONitor:MARKer2:EXPected:POWer" 

CALCulate:SMONitor:MARKer[<n>] [:SET]:EXPected:FREQuency

Function

This command sets the base station emulator's expected frequency to the frequency of the specified marker.

There are three markers <n> (1 to 3) that can be set. If no <n> is specified, marker 1 is used.

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"CALCulate:SMONitor:MARKer3:EXPected:FREQuency" 

CALCulate:SMONitor:MARKer[<n>]:STATe

Function

This command sets which markers are turned on.

There are three markers <n> (1 to 3) that can be set. If no <n> is specified, marker 1 is used.

Setting

Range: 1|ON|0|OFF

Query

Range: 1|ON|0|OFF

*RST Setting OFF

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"CALCulate:SMONitor:MARKer2:STATE 1" !Turns on marker 2.

CALCulate:SMONitor:MARKer[<n>]:TIME

Function

This command sets/queries the time at marker <n>. where <n> is a number 1 through 3. When no marker number is specified, marker 1 is used.

If you are using delta marker mode, this command sets/queries the delta offset time. (See CALCulate:SMONitor:MARKer[<n>] :MODE .)

Setting

Range: -50 ms to 10070 ms
Resolution: 0.25 us

Query

Range: -50 ms to 10070 ms
Resolution: 0.25 us

*RST Setting 5 ms

Programming Example

 
OUTPUT 714;"CALCulate:SMONitor:MARKer2:TIME 30" !Places marker 2 at 30 ms.
