This allows the maximum additional power that the AUPC can use to maintain the distant Eb/No to be
set. Set this so that the total maximum power (ie the nominal power set with
PLUS the AUPC Max positive delta power) It is within the constraints put upon your carrier by the
satellite operators.

This allows the minimum delta power that the AUPC can use to maintain the distant Eb/No to be set.
Normally the maximum delta power It is set to give the distant Eb/No a boost in poor atmospheric
conditions, with any improvements in Eb/No caused by particularly good atmospheric conditions being
considered a bonus. It is it not normally necessary to set the minimum delta power to any figure other
than zero otherwise any beneficial gain in Eb/No caused by good atmospheric conditions will be negated
by a decrease in Tx power.
This facility only exists so, if as a condition of being able to use AUPC, the satellite operator has asked
you to provide a reduced power in particularly good atmospheric conditions at your geographic location.
This may be in an attempt to `balance out` any increase in power required for other locations where
there may be poor atmospheric conditions, with the AUPC in those locations requiring additional power
from the satellite.

6.6.21 Change, Tx, Modulator, AUPC, SLEW RATE Menu

Change, Tx, Modulator, AUPC, Slew Rate Menu
This facility allows the changes in Tx power to occur at a controlled slew rate to prevent step changes in
Tx power at the IF output. A value of zero indicates no limit and step power changes will occur.
Whatever the slew rate limit the power changes will remain within the Max and Min power limits set on
the previous two screens. Use caution when setting this parameter so that the slew rate you impose It is
not too great to prevent the AUPC system responding to rapid fades (eg 10dB fade in 10 seconds).
