Channel Coupling

In electronics design and testing, you sometimes want to have two synchronized clock signals that are
related by a frequency ratio; one clock needs to maintain a certain frequency ratio with the other clock.
Or perhaps, you want to simulate an amplifier with an offset; the amplifier output needs to maintain a
defined offset from the input amplitude.
In Decoupled mode the behavior of the signal generated by a specific channel depends only on the
parameters set on the channel itself, while it is independent of any parameter set on the other channels
of the instrument.
In Coupled mode the user can choose which Channel N parameters are related to the respective
Channel 1 (reference channel) parameters. If this modality is enabled, near all Channel N (where N > 1)
parameters will appear a tick box, where the user can choose whether this should be coupled or not to
the corresponding Channel 1 (CH1) parameter.
The coupled parameters will change in real time following the changes of Channel 1 parameters.
Some parameters are already coupled by default when this mode is selected.
The Operating Mode "Coupled" is not allowed between channels with different Output Format. (e.g: the
Symmetry parameter of channel CH2, where a Ramp is selected as carrier, cannot be coupled if the
carrier of CH1 is a Sine waveform, because for this one the parameter doesn't exist).
