Read Marker Value – Control Byte #117 (75h)
Description: Returns the frequency location of the specified marker, and the value at that location.
If option 6 is installed and the frequency converter module is attached, the frequency will be scaled by the scale
factor of the module. If the module is not attached, the frequency is sent in Hz. Use Control Word A203 to
determine whether a module is attached and the appropriate scale factor.

Note:
Marker value sent as (value in dBm * 1,000) +270,000
If markers are set to be noise markers, convert the returned dBm value to dBm/Hz using this formula (only if
detection method is RMS Average):
marker (in dBm/Hz) = marker value (in dBm) - 10 * log10(RBW) - 0.13
