Basic Digital Operation (Option 651/652/654) Preliminary
Using Waveform Markers Preliminary
Using the RF Blanking Marker Function
While you can set a marker function (described as Marker Routing on the softkey label in the Marker
Utilities menu) either before or after setting the marker points (page 154), setting a marker function
before you set marker points may change the RF output. RF Blanking includes ALC hold (described
on page 149, note Caution regarding unleveled power). The signal generator blanks the RF output
when the marker signal goes low. This example is a continuation of the previous example, Viewing a
Marker Pulse.
