Claim Text:
1. An electrosurgical system, comprising: a control console having a processing device disposed therein; at least one electrosurgical probe that detachably connects to the control console; an RF generator for generating a voltage value for energizing the at least one electrosurgical probe; and a memory device associated with the at least one electrosurgical probe, the memory device storing probe-specific operating parameters including a cutting duty cycle value for a cutting mode, wherein the processing device is configured to obtain the probe-specific operating parameters from the memory device and the processing device is configured to control the RF generator, after selection of the cutting mode, to output an instantaneous voltage value for a constant cutting duty cycle portion of each time period defined by an inverse of a secondary frequency value, wherein the instantaneous voltage value is intentionally greater than a maximum average voltage value.
