The MA command returns the amplitude level of the active marker to the controller, if the marker is on screen. If
both the delta marker and active marker are on screen, MA returns the amplitude difference between the two
markers. (See MKDELTA and M3.) The amplitude is also displayed in the upper right-hand corner of the analyzer
display.
The output can be formatted in any of the four output formats. (Refer to FORMAT commands, 01,02, 03,04.)
However, do not use output format 04 for marker delta output, because sign information is lost.
A typical use of the MA command is shown in the sample program below.

Activates a normal marker and peak search.
Line 40:
Returns the amplitude to the controller.
Line 50:
Line 60:
Assigns the amplitude to variable A.
Prints the marker amplitude.
Line 70:
An ENTER command must follow each output command, or output data is lost. For example, the following
program assigns only the marker amplitude to variable E and the marker frequency value is lost.
