Abstract: According to one configuration, a controller controls use of multiple medical devices at a medical site. For example, a first medical device at the medical site is operable to perform one or more tissue ablation operations; a second medical device at the medical site is operable to perform non-ablation operations (such as tissue monitoring operations). The controller implements a control sequence to control switching between different operational modes including a first mode and a second mode. The first mode and corresponding first windows of time enable the first medical device to perform an ablation operation; the second mode and corresponding windows of time disable the first medical device from performing the ablation operation so that the second medical device operates without interference from the first medical device performing the ablation operation.
