Peak Excursion Sets the minimum amplitude variation of 
signals that the marker identifies as a peak. 
If a value of 10 dB is selected, the marker 
moves only to peaks that rise and fall more 
than 10 dB above the peak threshold value. 
When the peak excursion is 6 dB of higher,
NOTE
Two signal peaks, which are so close together that the amplitude drop 
between them is less than the peak-excursion value, are not 
recognized as two peaks. A signal peak is recognized only if it has a 
peak excursion drop above the noise floor, on both sides of the signal.
the marker- peak do not recognize signals less 
than peak- excursion value above the noise 
floor. To correct this, when measuring signals 
near the noise floor, reduce the excursion 
value. To prevent the marker from identifying 
noise as signals, reduce the noise floor 
variance less than the peak- excursion value 
by reducing the video bandwidth or by using 
video averaging.

Peak 
Threshold
Sets the minimum amplitude that the marker 
can identify as
  a  peak.  For example, if set to 
–90 dBm, the marker moves only to peaks 
that rise and fall more than the peak 
excursion above –90 dBm.
