Abstract
A probe system includes a heater and a control circuit. The heater includes a resistive heating element routed through the probe. An operational current is provided to the resistive heating element to provide heating for the probe. The control circuit is configured to monitor the operational current over time and determine a half-life estimate of the resistive heating element based upon an exponential function of the operational current over time.
