Claim 0:
1. A catheter, comprising:
a switch including a plurality of input channels and a plurality of output channels;
a connector including a plurality of contacts, each of the contacts being coupled to a different one of the output channels of the switch, the connector configured to connect to at least one external device;
a shaft including a plurality of electrodes, each electrode being coupled to a different one of the plurality of input channels of the switch;
a handle having a first end coupled to the connector and a second end coupled to the shaft, the handle including the switch and a memory configured to store a first pinout map identifying a first order in which the plurality of electrodes is coupled to the plurality of input channels of the switch in a first state, the catheter configured so that any of the plurality of electrodes can be coupled to any of the plurality of input channels while maintaining usability; and
a processor coupled to the memory and the switch, the processor being configured to transition the switch from the first state to a second state based on the first pinout map, the second state being one in which the switch is arranged to couple the plurality electrodes to the plurality of input channels in a second order that is compatible with the at least one external device.
