An external splitter and attenuator are not an option?
There are small lies, big lies and then there is what is on the screen of your oscilloscope.

From page 13-5 of the manual:

Clock Rate In Dual Channel AWG's
Waveforms selected in channel 2 of the LW400 are generated using the same sample clock as channel 1. For this reason, if the waveform was created at a different clock rate then a warning message, "Please resample channel 2" will appear. Press the button labeled CHAN 2 to display the CH 2 menu, shown in the accompa- nying figure. Press the Resample softkey, the waveform in channel 2 is resampled using the currently set clock rate.


From page 14-4 of the manual:

It is possible to use the marker to clock an external device or event. By pushing the field Type in the above menu, clock may be selected. In this case a new field labeled Frequency appears. The desired clock frequency may be input subject to certain constraints. The two fundamental constraints on the marker when used as a clock arise from the fact that the marker is associated with a waveform file and can only have frequencies that are even multiples of the current clock frequency. For example, a single marker pulse cannot be longer than the associated waveform file. Also the marker cannot have frequencies that are not even multi- ples of the clock frequency. For example, if the clock is running at 400 MS/sec, which is 2.5 nsec period then the marker can have a period of 5 nsec, 10 nsec, 15 nsec, 20 nsec, etc. It however, cannot have a period of 12.5 nsec or 17.5 nsec.
