Which VI to use to do a peak search to find hz and dbm of a CW?

I have a continuous wave being sent and read by a signal generator. From these VI options, which would I use to do a peak search to find this CW frequency and power? Thinking configure marker peak search but unsure.

Wait... what?  A signal generator generates a signal; it doesn't read it.  You need an instrument like a signal analyzer or an O-scope to capture data.

Oh, I see.  It was just poorly described.  You are using a signal analyzer.  Generally, you would first learn how to do this manually.  Then you would look at the VIs to see which ones to put together to accomplish the same thing.
