1. An electrosurgical generator having selectable modes of operation and output power levels within the selected modes and using drive pulses to create and deliver an electrosurgical output waveform defined by output voltage and output current, and including functionality established by execution of:

  • a sampling routine which obtains sample values representative of output voltage and output current;

    a pulse control routine which establishes a value defining the drive pulses based on the sample values and a selected output power level;

    a pattern generation routine which generates a mode cycle pattern of drive pulses having the value established by the pulse control routine and in accordance with a selected mode of operation; and

    a pattern delivery routine which creates drive pulses by sequentially delivering multiple mode cycle patterns generated by the pattern generation routine.
