Claim 18:
19. A method, comprising:
in a circuit having a first conductor, a second conductor and a third conductor, with each of the first conductor, the second conductor and the third conductor connected to two or more temperature sensors of a sensor array,
providing a first known amount of electricity via the first conductor and the second conductor to activate a first temperature sensor of the sensor array, the sensor array positioned in proximity to a transducer array having a plurality of electrode elements configured for placement on a body of a patient, the electrode elements configured to provide TTFields via an alternating current waveform;
obtaining a first temperature reading induced by activation of a first temperature sensor;
providing a second known amount of electricity via the first conductor and the third conductor to activate a second temperature sensor;
obtaining a second temperature reading induced by activation of the second temperature sensor; and,
adjusting the alternating current waveform based on at least one of the first temperature reading and the second temperature reading.
