Figure 16-10 Pp-m Mode
Total Power Mode
The total mode lets you set the message part power directly, which in turn sets the control part power by
automatically adjusting the Pp-m value. In this mode, the
Msg Pwr
field is active and the
Pp-m
field is
grayed-out (inactive). To calculate what control part power and Pp-m value will result from a message part
power value, perform the following steps where
1. Determine the difference between the relative power values.

2. Calculate the control part power.
