If measurement channel 2 is active when the key is used to
select a new device type, measurement channel 2 is turned off, and
measurement channel 1 is made active.
If measurement channel 2 is active when the key is used to
select a new measurement type, measurement channel 2 will be left on
and active. However, the analyzer then proceeds to set up channel 1 for
the requested measurement type, even though channel 2 is the active
channel.
