1. A method comprising:
receiving a set of electrical signals from a temperature probe, wherein the temperature probe comprises a connector comprising a set of conductors, wherein the set of conductors comprises a tip, a set of rings, and a sleeve, wherein each electrical signal of the set of electrical signals is received from a different conductor of the set of conductors;
determining a ground-signal conductor pattern based on the set of electrical signals;
determining a temperature probe type for the temperature probe based on the ground-signal conductor pattern, wherein the temperature probe type is determined to be a resistance temperature detector (RTD) sensor when the tip is grounded;
determining a temperature model associated with the temperature probe type; and
determining a temperature estimate based on the set of electrical signals, using the temperature model.
