Screen Display and Marker Functions

The 8753ES allows up to four channels to be displayed on the screen. Up to five markers
can be displayed on each channel. Also, one of the displayed markers can be designated as
the reference marker. Each channel also supports a fixed marker that can be established at a
fixed position.
In contrast, the E5070A/E5071A enables you to have all nine channels displayed by
opening up nine separate windows on the screen. Nine traces can be displayed for each
channel, and up to nine markers can be displayed for each trace. In addition to the markers
displayed, you can also designate one marker as the reference marker. The
E5070A/E5071A, however, does not support fixed markers.
The 8753ES supports the Maximum, Minimum, Target value, and Bandwidth marker
functions. The E5070A/E5071A supports all these in addition to a Peak Search function.
Using this function, you can determine whether or not to search for a positive or negative
peak. In addition, the 8753ES has an additional function to search for the maximum or
minimum bandwidth. While the 8753ES allows a target value or search tracking to be
established only on the active marker, the E5070A/E5071A allows a target value or search
tracking to be established on all markers.

Math Operation Functions on Traces

On the 8753ES, each channel is provided with a memory trace. For this reason, math
operations between the data trace and memory trace are supported: "Data / Memory" and
"Data - Memory". On the E5070A/E5071A, however, "Data ´ Memory" and "Data +
