module. The resistance of the TE module is measured by generation of a pseudo
AC current of small amplitude (< 15 mA). A small positive current (Ip) is input to
the module for time T and the output voltage (Vpi) across the TE is measured with
an ADC. The current is then reversed at the same amplitude (In) for time T, and
the output voltage (Vn) across the TE is again sampled by the ADC. The TE
