I have been trying to understand just how a TE probe functions.

Is a TE probe plumbed as the only static source for a variometer or is it plumbed together with the static ports that are usually placed on the sides of a glider?

Probe replaces static and provides a source to the variometer that is of the same magnitude as pitot pressure, but the opposite sign.
