Zusammenfassung:Described herein are embodiments of a switching network for integrating electrophysiology components into an electrophysiology system. These electrophysiology components may include electrophysiology recorder, three-dimensional mapping systems, radio frequency generators, and stimulators. The switching network provides switchable connections, which allow the electrophysiology system to be reconfigured to perform different electrophysiology procedures, such as heart signal recording and mapping, cardiac ablation, or cardiac pacing. A recorder may provide control signals to the switching network to change connections between electrophysiology equipment and a catheter in a patient's heart. The electrophysiology system may control generation of biphasic pulses for use in cardiac pacing. The electrophysiology system may reconfigure the effective size the tip electrode of a split tip catheter.
