Channels Coupling
In electronics design and testing, it is sometimes required to have two synchronized clock signals that
are related by a frequency ratio: one clock needs to maintain a certain frequency ratio with respect to
the other clock.
Or perhaps it is required simulate an amplifier with an offset: the amplifier output needs to maintain a
defined offset from the input amplitude.
To address this problem the channel coupling feature is provided.

in the More menu to open the Channel Coupling page.
Channel 1 parameters are used as the reference parameters.
The Channel Coupling section allows to specify that Channel N parameter, like frequency, amplitude,
offset etc. is related to Channel 1 parameter by a ratio (multiplying factor) and an offset (adding factor).
The equation that specifies the relation between the Channel N parameter to the Channel 1 parameter
is the following:
Ch[N] Parameter = CH1 Parameter*Ratio + Offset
The coupled parameters will change in real time following the changes of Channel 1 parameters to
maintain the specified ratio
and
offset. It is possible to couple multiple parameters simultaneously.
