Sim is selected. When Alt is selected, the stimulus will alternate between
Ch1 and Ch2.
Masking indicates if channel 2 is currently in use as a masking channel and
in that way makes sure masking symbols are used in the audiogram. For
example, in paediatric testing through free field speakers, channel 2 can be
set as a second testing channel. Note that a separate store function f or
