The spectrum markers are controlled with this dialog. Note that spectrum markers will effectively show on the spectrum display only when it is active (shows some data).
The marker color is displayed here. You can click on the square to open a standard color selection dialog to select the marker color. Note that it selects the color of the text display of the marker the crosshairs remain in white color.
<h3>4. Marker show</h3>
Toggles marker display on the spectrum
<h3>5. Marker selection</h3>
Turn the dial button to select the marker being set up. The index of the marker appears at left.
Push this button to swap the current marker with marker at index 0. The marker at index 0 is the reference marker. Note that the colors are not swapped so that the marker color is associated to its index and not the marker itself.
<h3>7. Add/Remove marker</h3>
- Press the "+" button to add a new marker with a maximum of 4 markers.
- Press the "-" button to remove the current marker. When reference marker (index 0) is removed the marker at index 1 if it exists replaces it and thus is made the reference marker.
<h3>8. Power hold reset</h3>
When the power max hold is selected (9) this button resets the max hold
<h3>9. Marker type</h3>
This combo lets you select the type of marker:
- **Man**: manual power set. The value is set with the next control (10)
- **Cur**: current power. The marker will move according to the current power at the marker frequency
- **Max**: max hold. The marker will move according to the maximum power at the marker frequency. Use button (8) to reset.
<h3>10. Manual (fixed) power</h3>
Use this slider to adjust the power position of the marker. The units are in dB irrespective of the linear or log set of the spectrum display.
Activates or de-activates peak detection. With peak detection engaged markers with type "Cur" or "Max" will be automatically set to frequency (bin) of maximum power. The first marker in index order with "Cur" or "Max" will be set to the highest peak in magnitude then next marker to next peak in magnitude order etc. Markers of type "Cur" will track current peaks and markers of type "Max" will track peak maxima making it more suitable for transient signals.
Use this frequency dial to set the marker frequency in Hz
<h3>2. Center marker frequency</h3>
Push this button to move the marker at the center of the spectrum
<h3>3. Marker color</h3>

- Press the "-" button to remove the current marker. When reference marker (index 0) is removed the marker at index 1 if it exists replaces it and thus is made the reference marker.
<h3>8. Time mantissa</h3>
The time mark of the marker is given in seconds by mantissa M and exponent E so that t(s) = M × 10<sup>E</sup>. This part controls the mantissa component M that appears on the left. The slider lets you control the decimal part from .000 to .999 and the dial button the integer part from 0 to 9.
<h3>9. Time exponent</h3>
This slider lets you control the exponent part E of the time mark so that t(s) = M × 10<sup>E</sup>. The value in exponential notation appears on the left.
Turn the dial button to select the marker being set up. The index of the marker appears at left.
<h3>2. Add/Remove marker</h3>
- Press the "+" button to add a new marker.
- Press the "-" button to remove the current marker.
<h3>3. Marker color</h3>
The marker color is displayed here. You can click on the square to open a standard color selection dialog to select the marker color. Note that it selects the color of the text display of the marker the crosshairs remain in white color.
<h3>4. Marker text</h3>
Type in the text of the marker to be displayed when it is selected (see "Annotations on spectrum display" next). You can enter up to 36 characters.
In "top" state the markers are displayed as short lines or thin areas on the top of the spectrum. Click in the marker area to toggle between "full" and "top" states. For line markers (bandwidth 0 Hz) click close to the right of line marker.
