Abstract: A coordinating interface for electrophysiological signals provides inputs for ECG and intra-cardiac electrodes and provides a computer controllable processing path outputting data using a shareable digital data output. Requests received over a digital control line allow the computer to control a multiway switch and analog filter set to arbitrate among different uses of the electrophysiological signals by different devices. A single coordinating interface helps reduce interference from competing uses. Pre-stored configuration data simplifies the connection of different devices having different uses of the physiological data.
