ZNx: Marker read out of other traces with remote commands

Description

I have several traces with markers in one channel. When I query the result of marker 1 I always get the response of trace 1.

How can I get the result of marker 1 for trace 2?

Resolution

To get the result of markers which are assigned to other traces it is necessary that the trace becomes "active".
The remote command to set a specific trace to active is:
"CALC1:PAR:SEL 'TRC2'

"TRC2" is the name of the trace. If you use other names, you have to use that name.

Now you can query the result of marker 1 which is assigned to "TRC2":
CALC1:MARK1:X?
CALC1:MARK1:Y?
