Basic Digital Operation
Using Waveform Markers
Using the RF Blanking Marker Function
While you can set a marker function (described as Marker Routing on the
softkey label) either before or after setting the marker points
setting a marker function before you set marker points may change the RF
output. RF Blanking includes ALC hold (described on
regarding unleveled power). The signal generator blanks the RF output when
the marker signal goes low.
