Parameters
<ch>	Channel number to copy mechanical settings to. If unspecified, value is set to 1.
<num>	Channel number to copy mechanical settings from.

(Read-Write) Write or read the setting of a specified element in the current configuration.

This command is used for both RF path and IF path configuration.

(PNA) RF Configuration elements and values
(PNA) IF Configuration elements and values (Includes IF Path, Pulse, and DSP elements)
(M983xA, E5081A) Path Configurator (RF and IF)

The other configuration can be set as below.

Parameters
<ch>	Any existing channel number; if unspecified, value is set to 1.
