Selecting Total as the power 
control mode makes the total 
power and C/N independent 
variables while making the 
carrier power and total noise 
power dependent variables. The 
dependent variables carrier 
power and total noise power are 
set by the total power, C/N, and 
the rest of the Noise settings. 
The carrier power and total 
noise power change as any 
noise parameter is adjusted to 
keep the total power and the 
C/N at their last specified 
values.
Selecting Carrier as the power 
control mode makes the carrier 
power and C/N independent 
variables while making the total 
power and total noise power 
dependent variables. The 
dependent variables total power 
and total noise power are set by 
the carrier power, C/N, and the 
rest of the Noise settings. The 
total power and total noise 
power change as any noise 
parameter is adjusted to keep 
the carrier power and the C/N at 
their last specified values.
Selecting Total Noise as the 
power control mode makes the 
total noise power and C/N 
independent variables while 
making the total power and 
carrier power dependent 
variables. The dependent 
variables total power and carrier 
power are set by the total noise 
power, C/N, and the rest of the 
Noise settings. The total power 
and carrier power change as 
any noise parameter is adjusted 
to keep the total noise power 
and the C/N at their last 
specified values.
