Data Display Update When you change a control panel parameter that affects the appear

ance of the display, the entire display changes immediately to reflect
that change. For example, if you press Autoscale, the entire display
rescales immediately. You do not have to wait for the next sweep to see
the results of the change. The following parameters are supported for
this feature: Reference Delay, Offset, Scaling, Auto Scale, Auto Refer

If the knob is used to vary any of the above parameters, the change oc

reflect the new setting(s).
When you change a marker frequency or time (distance), the readout
parameters will change. This change reflects the changes in measure

ment data at the marker’s new frequency, using data stored from the
previous sweep.
Display of Markers Once you have selected a marker to display, it will appear on the
screen. It does not matter what resolution you have selected. When
you set a marker to another calibrated frequency and then lower the
