The throttle position and thus the power requested by the engineer, is interpreted for the engine by the governor. The Woodward governor takes the desired power output and changes it into a fuel setting and an alternator excitation setting and constantly balances the two to keep the engine at the desired power output. The signal from the throttle is sent as a 'code' relating to the 5 solenoids the governor uses to control itself. The solenoid pattern for the different notches is:

Low Idle, D, E

Idle, Notch 1, All off

Notch 2: A

Notch 3: C

Notch 4: A, C

Notch 5: B, C, and D

Notch 6: A, B, C, and D

Notch 7: B, C

Notch 8: A, B, C

Stop: D
