Arb Commands
Multitone Subsystem–N5172B/82B ([:SOURce]:RADio:MTONe:ARB)
In the CARRier control mode, the total power will be adjusted to achieve the
specified carrier power and the carrier power level will be maintained
regardless of changes to the other noise parameters. A change to the total
power will change the carrier power setting appropriately to maintain the C/N
ratio.
In the TOTal control mode, this will adjust the total power once for the
specified carrier power level, after which the carrier power could change if any
noise parameters are adjusted or the total power is adjusted.
In the NOISe control mode, this will adjust the total noise power once for the
specified carrier power level, after which the carrier power could change if any
noise parameters are adjusted or the total noise power is adjusted. See also
:NOISe:POWer:CONTrol[:MODE] and :NOISe:POWer:NOISe:TOTal commands.

This command sets the power control to one of the three following modes:
Keysight EXG and MXG X-Series Signal Generators SCPI Command Reference
Range
The range varies based on the bounds of the total
power that results from the noise settings.
Default
The appropriate value given the current total power and
the current Carrier to Noise (C/N).
Key Entry
Carrier Power
Supported
N5172B/82B with Option 403
Total
This is the default mode where the total power and C/N
are independent variables and the carrier power and
total noise power are dependent variables set by the
total power, C/N and the rest of the noise settings. The
carrier power and total noise power will change as any
noise parameter is adjusted to keep the total power and
the C/N at their last specified values.
Carrier
In this mode the carrier power and C/N are independent
variables and the total power and total noise power are
dependent variables set by the carrier power, C/N and
the rest of the noise settings. The total power and total
noise power will change as any noise parameter is
adjusted to keep the carrier power and the C/N at their
last specified values.
Total Noise
In this mode the total noise power and C/N are
independent variables and the total power and carrier
power are dependent variables set by the total noise
power, C/N and the rest of the noise settings. The total
