:CALCulate{1-16}[:SELected]:MARKer{1-13}:ACTivate
Description
The command makes the indicated marker of the active trace the active marker. No query.
To find if a marker is active, use the query:
:CALCulate{1-16}[:SELected]:MARKer:ACTivate?
Markers 1 through 12 are standard measurement markers. Marker 13 is the reference marker.
Cmd Parameters
NA
Range
NA
Default Value
0
Syntax Example
:CALC1:MARK1:ACT
:CALCulate{1-16}[:SELected]:MARKer{1-13}:MOVe <char>
Description
The command moves the indicated marker to the indicated location on the active trace on the indicated channel. No query. The available locations are:
• CENTer = Moves the marker to the center of the trace range.
• REFmarker = Moves the marker to the reference marker on the active trace
• STARt = Moves the marker to the start frequency of the active trace
• STOP = Moves the marker to the stop frequency of the active trace
Markers 1 through 12 are standard measurement markers. Marker 13 is the reference marker.
Cmd Parameters
<char> CENTer | REFmarker | STARt | STOP
Range
NA
Default Value
NA
Syntax Example
:CALC1:MARK1:MOV CENT
:CALCulate{1-16}[:SELected]:MARKer{1-12}:SEArch:RANGe <char>
:CALCulate{1-16}[:SELected]:MARKer{1-12}:SEArch:RANGe?
Note 
The command/query does not support Marker 13 (Reference Marker).
Description
The command sets the marker search range selection for the indicated marker of the active trace on the indicated channel.
The query outputs the marker search range selection for the indicated marker of the active trace on the indicated channel.
Cmd Parameters
<char> TRACe | RNG1 | RNG2 | …. | RNG20
Query Parameters

:CALCulate{1-16}[:SELected]:MARKer{1-13}:SET <char>
Description
The command sets the start, stop, or center range of the display reference level to the indicated marker range/response on the active trace of the indicated channel. Markers 1 through 12 are standard measurement markers. Marker 13 is the reference marker. No query.
Cmd Parameters
<char> CENTer | REFmarker | STARt | STOP
Range
NA
Default Value
NA
Syntax Example
:CALC1:MARK1:SET CENT
:CALCulate{1-16}[:SELected]:MARKer{1-13}[:STATe] <char>
:CALCulate{1-16}[:SELected]:MARKer{1-13}[:STATe]?
Description
The command toggles on/off displaying the indicated marker of the active trace on the indicated channel on/off. The query outputs the on/off display status of the indicated marker of the active trace on the indicated channel. Markers 1 through 12 are standard measurement markers. Marker 13 is the reference marker.
Cmd Parameters
<char> 1 | 0 | ON | OFF
Query Parameters
<char> 1 | 0
Range
NA
Default Value
1
Syntax Example
:CALC1:MARK1 ON
:CALC1:MARK1?
:CALCulate{1-16}[:SELected]:MARKer{1-13}:X <NRf>
:CALCulate{1-16}[:SELected]:MARKer{1-13}:X?
Description
The command enters the frequency, distance, or time for the indicated marker on the active trace on the indicated channel and turns on the marker.The query outputs the frequency, distance, or time of the indicated marker on the active trace on the indicated channel. Markers 1 through 12 are standard measurement markers. Marker 13 is the reference marker.
Cmd Parameters
<NRf> The input parameter is in Hertz, Meters, or Seconds.
Query Parameters
<NR3> The output parameter is in Hertz, Meters, or Seconds.
Range
The range depends on the parameter type setting:
• Frequency = Minimum Instrument Frequency to the Maximum Instrument Frequency
• Time = 1E-9 Seconds to 4E-9 Seconds
• Distance = -29.965E-3 Meters to 1.1988 Meters
Default Value
The default value is always a frequency. The value depends on the installed options:
• If Option 70 – 70 kHz Low End Frequency Extension is installed, the default value = 70 kHz.
• If Option 70 is not installed, the default value = 10 MHz.
