How Do I grab Markers from analyzer to display on labview waveform?

[MrSafe]

How do I grab markers from analyzer to display on labview waveform? I have a Rohde & Schwars ESIB7 and the drivers. I have a CW @ 1.4 GHz I can peak search it and display it on the labview waveform. I am able to do a 99% BW on it as well however I cant see the markers or the marker information that I see on the analzyer. I can grab the information and display it in a numeric form however I would like to display the marker position/information exactly how I see it on the analzyer.

Hi MrSafe,
if you write your waveform to a graph, then you can show the marker as a cursor.

Well currently I have the measured waveform outputed to a waveform graph but I don't see cursors even though I have them enabled I will upload the VI file tomorrow to help give a better explaination of my problem.

Thank you for taking the time to reply.

I have attached the vi to my post. I hope this helps.

You set the cursor position with a property node. When you have multiple cursors, you will have to first write to the Active Cursor property.

p.s. The image came out a little weird. The 0 constant is wire to the active cursor input and a control is wired to the PosX. This would actually be the value from your read.

I see I will try that I'm not sure how to use the property node I only recently started using labview. Could you possibly point me in the direction of a toturial on how to use that property node?

Right click on an object and select Create>Property. You can browse the available properties. Right click on a property and select Help. You should also have the Context Help window open at all times.

Yes I do see that thank you. I will post here again if I run into problems.

I can't seem to locate the icon you posted. Is this specifc for drivers? I right clicked my graph>cursor>cursor position>all elements

[Dennis_Knutson]

You should have this.

Property nodes have nothing to do with instrument drivers. They pertain to the LabVIEW application, a VI, or a control/indicator. Once you have created a property node, you can write click on it and change it to be either a property you write to or a property you read from. When first created, it is a property that is read. Right click on it and select Chagne to Write. You can also drag the property node ot create additional properties. Or, right click and select Add Element.
