1. A system for controlling delivery of ablation energy from an ablation catheter to tissue in a body, comprising:

  • an electronic control unit configured to;

    determine, responsive to a measurement signal from the ablation catheter, a value for a characteristic associated with the delivery of ablation energy to the tissue; and

    generate a first control signal, responsive to the determined value of the characteristic, to control an amount of energy delivered from the ablation delivery element to the tissue;

    wherein the amount of energy varies continuously in response to a change in the determined value of the characteristic when the determined value of the characteristic is between a first threshold value and a second threshold value.
