Lb Set Measurement Parameters Using Markers; Example Of Impedance Smith Chart Markers - HP 8753E User Manual

The marker annotation tells that the complex impedance is capacitive in the bottom half of
the Smith chart display and is inductive in the top half of the display.
Choose .X&@I#& if you want the analyzer to show the linear magnitude and the phase of
n
the reflection coefficient at the marker.
Choose ~~~~~~~~ if you want the analyzer to show the logarithmic magnitude and the
n
phase of the reflection coefficient at the active marker. This is useful as a fast method of
obtaining a reading of the log magnitude value without changing to log magnitude format.

rectangular form. The active marker values are displayed in terms of conductance (in
Siemens), susceptance, and equivalent parallel circuit capacitance or inductance. Siemens
are the international unit of admittance and are equivalent to mhos (the inverse of ohms).

The analyzer allows you to set measurement parameters with the markers, without going
through the usual key sequence. You can change certain stimulus and response parameters to
make them equal to the current active marker value.
