REDUCTION OF INDUCTIVE DISCHARGE PEAKS IN PRESSURE HEADS

Abstract

A method comprises: determining a delay setting on a controller of a device corresponding to an effector head configured to engage with the device, the effector head comprising (i) an array of effector elements, (ii) a first switch assembly controllable to supply energy to a first subset of the effector elements, and (iii) a second switch assembly configured to supply energy to a second subset of the effector elements; activating the array of effector elements on the controller by: controlling the first switch assembly to supply energy to the first subset during a first period, and controlling the second switch assembly to supply energy to the second subset during a second period, the second period being shifted relative to the first period according to the delay setting.
