Simulation module

A method of testing an ablation generator using a simulation module having a processor and a memory, the method comprising:

• establishing a communication link between an ablation generator and a simulation module;
• communicating an impedance level of the simulation module to the ablation generator via the established communication link to facilitate automatically setting an electrode activation setting at the ablation generator, where the impedance level is associated with one or more ablation tissue-electrode conduction paths;
• and
• determining whether the electrode activation setting of the ablation generator matches the impedance level.

A simulation system for simulating a tissue-electrode conduction path of electrodes on a catheter at one or more locations within a patient's body, comprising:

• a simulation module;
• and
• an ablation generator in communication with the simulation module;
• wherein the simulation module comprises:
• circuitry capable of providing impedances to an electrical signal from the ablation generator, where the impedances correspond to one or more simulated tissue-electrode conductions paths;
• and
• one or more indicators in communication with the circuitry, where the one or more indicators are capable of providing indications corresponding to the impedances.
