Delta markers

[Andy]

Hello all.
I often use delta markers, but sometimes get in a tangle and wish to start again. However I cannot find a way of making Spike ‘forget all previous marker settings and start from scratch’.
Whatever I do I end up with stuck markers, reversed markers and generally in a mess!
I usually turn of that set of markers and go to the next set, which of course work perfectly.
Sorry if it’s me doing it wrong….

Hi Andy,

Thanks for sharing your frustration. Delta markers can be tricky and there might be alternative interfaces that simplify using them. Other spectrum analyzers simplify the use of delta markers by making them a separate marker. It is something we have considered.

The delta marker button toggles delta marker. So if the delta measurement is active, simply press the delta button to remove the delta marker and go back to regular marker measurements. When you want to make another delta measurement, press the delta button and the delta marker will be placed on the current marker position.

Let me know if you have further questions or have additional feedback.

Regards,
Andrew

Ha! I never thought of pressing the same button again…must be my age. Thanks.
