syseng68k,

The jet has 3 Probe Heat Controllers that use various logic to vary temperature, depending on conditions -

automatically when at least one engine is running, or in flight

manually by switching ON the PROBE/WINDOW HEAT pushbutton.

On the ground, TAT probes are not heated and pitot heating operates at low level (normal power in flight by automatic changeover).
