In dual harmonic mode, controls and displays relating to the first detection harmonic
carry the suffix "1" and those for the second, the suffix "2". Hence, for example, if a
reference frequency of 1 kHz is applied, Harmonic 1 is set to 3 and Harmonic 2 to 5,
the instrument will measure signals at both 3 kHz and 5 kHz. The Sensitivity 1, Time
Constant 1 and Harmonic 1 Phase controls will affect the signal being measured at
3 kHz, while the Sensitivity 2, Time Constant 2 and Harmonic 2 Phase controls will
affect the signal being measured at 5 kHz.
