Apparatus and method for mapping catheter force and temperature with auto-adjust color scale

Apparatus for displaying information, comprising:

• a probe comprising a proximal end and a distal end, the distal end of the probe configured to be inserted into a body of a subject and comprising:
• a force sensor arranged at the distal end of the probe, the force sensor configured to sense a force signal indicative of a force exerted by the distal end of the probe on tissue of the subject, the force signal comprising a first indication of a magnitude of the force and a second indication of a force-direction of the force;
• and
• temperature sensors arranged at the distal end of the probe, the temperature sensors configured to sense temperature signals of temperatures in a vicinity of the distal end of the probe;
• a display screen;
• and
• a processor configured to receive the force signal and the temperature signals, to display on the display screen in a single map a graphical representation showing a distribution of the temperatures with a vector representation of the force superimposed on the distribution of the temperatures;
• wherein the vector representation comprises the first indication of a magnitude of the force and the second indication of a force-direction of the force.
