Patent attributes
A surgical system includes two instruments with corresponding end effectors that are operable to apply different types of energy to tissue of a patient. The system further includes one or more electrical power generators that are configured to generate first and second energy signals via corresponding generator outputs. A power monitor is configured to monitor a first energy parameter of the first energy signal and transmit the first energy parameter to the one or more electric power generators. The one or more electric power generators is configured to adjust a second energy parameter of the second energy signal, based at least in part on the transmitted first energy parameter, to avoid interactions between the first energy signal and the second energy signal.
