Relays Cycle Counter
The hardware relays built into the R&S FSW may fail after a large number of switching
cycles (see data sheet). The counter indicates how many switching cycles the individ-
ual relays have performed since they were installed.

12.8 Synchronizing Measurement Channel Configuration
Access: [SETUP] > "Parameter Coupling"
Each of the applications of the R&S FSW is usually treated as an independent entity
regarding their configuration: changing a setting in one measurement channel does not
automatically change the corresponding setting in another channel.
For example, changing the frequency in the spectrum application does not, by default,
change the frequency in the vector signal analysis (VSA) application.
However, sharing settings can be convenient for certain measurement tasks. The
R&S FSW provides a tool to couple (or synchronize) selected parameters across appli-
cations - the coupling manager.
The coupling managers allows you not only to couple parameters, but also markers
and lines accross applications.

12.8.1 General Parameter Coupling
Access: [SETUP] > "Parameter Coupling" > "General"
The "General" tab of the coupling manager contains several parameters that you can
couple across all (active) measurement channels - if the channel supports the corre-
sponding parameter.
