Retrieving Measurement Results

Retrieving Measurement Results
Markers allow you to retrieve measurement results at your specified points only. "Internal
data arrays" on page 70 allow you to retrieve all measurement results throughout a
particular trace.

Retrieving measurement results at marker positions

In using markers to retrieve measurement results at specified points, you can use up to six
markers for each measurement graph, and you can move them to any point on the trace.
You can also set any as a reference marker.
Showing/hiding markers
To show or hide each marker, use the following command ("xx" specifies any one of the
measurements (PN,SP,FP,TR,) while "y" specifies the number of the trace if the
measurement has multiple traces.
•
Turning On or Off Reference Marker Mode
Turning on Reference Marker Mode sets the specified marker number as the reference
marker and makes other markers relative with respect to it. To specify the reference marker
and turn on or off Reference Marker mode, use the following command:
•
•
Changing along the frequency axis and retrieval of marker positions
To change along the frequency axis or retrieve the reference marker position, use the
following command:
•
NOTE When Reference Marker Mode is on, the x value at a regular marker is a relative value
obtained by deducting its x value from the reference marker's x value.
Retrieving measurement results at marker positions
To retrieve the measurement results (response values) at a particular marker or the
reference marker, use the following command:
•

Retrieving internal data arrays

You can chose between the ASCII and binary data transfer formats when you retrieve
internal data arrays.
For more information, refer to "Data Types for Data Transfer" on page 60.
Example 4-1 and Example 4-2 show sample programs that demonstrate how to retrieve
