When the Device Setup is selected both the modulators can be configured from the
dialog that appears.
The QAM symblorate and RF level is applicable to both modulators; while the other
parameters may be configured individually for each internal modulator. Change the
values and press Apply to activate the changes.
The Frequency may only be tuned for the first carrier of the modulator; the remaining
three will automatically be tuned as an offset from the first, with the channel spacing
specified by the user.
