Non-volatile memory (NVRAM) stores up to 9 separate waveforms with their readouts and markers, and up to 10 different front-panel control setups.

The single and delta markers provide direct readout of frequency and amplitude information of any point along any displayed trace, or indicate the relative (delta) frequency and amplitude information between any two points along any displayed trace, or between traces.

The instrument can selectively count one particular signal out of several that may be present at its input.
