Hmmm. By reading a bit of the DSP Builder documentation I suspect that channels are samples that are fed through the same arithmetic processes but are individual to each other.

Since the current and voltage are combined inside the arithmetic process I cannot combine them into one datapath as two channels. Is it so?
