Quick Tips
Ch1->Ch2,Ch3,Ch4means that Ch 1 parameters are coupled with Ch 2, Ch 3 and Ch 4 parameters. With the
Channel Coupling in the On state, the Ch 1 parameters are applied to the instrument hardware settings of the other
three channels. You cannot select parameters for channel coupling in the Channel page of the Settings window. The
disabled parameters are grayed out.
The following parameters are excluded from channel coupling:
Channel skew
Output waveform
Sequence waveform
External signal add function
Waveform rotation
Marker delay
Parameters that are not related to the output signal, such as marker display on/off
