ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus to control a power output of a probe connected to a controller in a thermal energy controller system to maintain a target temperature. The system includes a probe, a controller/generator and a means for connecting the probe to the controller. The probe has a thermal element and a temperature sensor. The temperature sensor provides a sensed temperature. The method and apparatus allow the controller to more effectively accommodate different types of probes by providing selectable probe settings for the probes. The controller modifies its operation in response to the selected probe setting. In this way, the power output of each type of probe can be more effectively controlled to better maintain the selected target temperature.
