Frequency Coupling
For a 2 channel instrument, the frequency of the 2 channels can be coupled
to keep a user defined frequency ratio. This can be used to automatically
adjust the frequency of channel 2 whenever the frequency of channel 1
changes.
Enables or disables frequency coupling mode on channel 2. If
frequency coupling mode is enabled, the frequency on channel 2 will
be calculated as followed:
f
2
=FreqMult * f
1
/ FreqDiv
It is no longer possible to enter the frequency on channel 2 directly if
frequency divider mode is enabled.
The frequency coupling settings will be ignored if sweep is enabled.
The frequency multiplier and divider settings do not apply to the FSK
Hop Frequency.
The phase relation between channel 1 and channel 2 is not specified
even if the frequency of channel 1 is identical to the frequency of
channel 2.
This can be found on the Pulse, Sine, Square, Ramp, and Arb screens.
The Frequency Multiplier and Frequency Divider will be enabled only when
the Frequency Coupling State is enabled.
