Using Instrument Functions
Using Markers
To Use Delta (∆) Marker Mode
In delta marker mode, a reference marker is placed at the active marker
position. All marker values are then displayed in reference to this delta
marker. When the amplitude of the measurement trace changes, the
reference marker value also changes. The delta marker is represented by
a triangle pointing up (∆) with a delta symbol (∆) below it rather than a
number.
Limit testing can be performed on delta amplitude and delta frequency
using specific markers. See
page 4-32
chapter.
To follow along with this example, set up the instrument for an S
forward transmission measurement of the bandpass filter that was
shipped with your instrument.
