Output Waveforms

Tissue Sensing Technology, an automatic adjustment, controls all modes. As
tissue resistance increases from zero, the energy platform outputs constant current
followed by constant power followed by constant voltage. The maximum output
voltage is controlled to reduce capacitive coupling and video interference and to
minimize sparking.
