Each sub-instrument uses one specific frontend and supports one instance per firmware
application. The TX and RX module numbering is a logical numbering per sub-instrument,
not per instrument. That means e.g. that within sub-instrument 1 the value TX1 refers to
another physical TX module than within sub-instrument 2.
The following table lists the supported parameter values and used *RST values for selec-
tion of RF connectors and TX/RX boards.

6.4.4.7 Two RF Paths, One Frontend, One Sub-Instrument
This section applies to an instrument with two RF paths, one advanced frontend and two
instances per firmware application. All resources are grouped in one sub-instrument.
All instances can access all connectors of the frontend. The following table lists the sup-
ported parameter values and used *RST values for selection of RF connectors and TX/
RX boards.

6.4.4.8 Two RF Paths, One Frontend, Two Sub-Instruments
This section applies to an instrument with two RF paths, one advanced frontend and two
instances per firmware application. The instrument is split into two sub-instruments.
Each sub-instrument can access only a part of the frontend and supports one instance
per firmware application. The TX and RX module numbering is a logical numbering per
