Fig. 537 Adding a Marker

During an active recording, the user can add markers in its measurement to add additional information at a certain point of time. Therefore, the user must click on one of the both buttons marked in Fig. 537 and a pop-up window will appear. In this window, the user can add the additional information to the marker. After clicking on OK, the marker will show up in the Event List. The Marker will be added to the instant of time with the respective timestamp after clicking on one of the both buttons and not only after clicking OK.

This list will also be saved to the data file. When a data file is reviewed in the PLAY mode, the Markers are displayed in the Overview bar as well as in a Recorder Instrument and will show up in the Event List (see Fig. 538). Further markers can be added in the PLAY mode as well.
