Methods for conducting an electrophysiology procedure using a programmed
machine are described, including methods for managing discrete data capture requests
received throughout the course of an electrophysiology procedure and for discretizing
the display of independent data capture events that occur during the course of
the electrophysiology procedure. These methods enable an operator to review location
maps of sites visited during the course of a procedure and to review data from
discrete moments in the procedure and to play back data over a sequence of times
throughout the procedure, one moment at a time. The invention further includes
software constructs that enable data management.
