Abstract
An electrosurgical system includes an electrosurgical generator having a radio frequency source configured to operate in a plurality of modes and a controller configured to control the radio frequency source to output a radio frequency waveform corresponding to a mode from the plurality of modes. The system also includes a footswitch assembly coupled to the electrosurgical generator. The footswitch assembly includes a footswitch in communication with the controller. The footswitch is configured to output a footswitch activation signal to activate the radio frequency source. The footswitch assembly also includes a mode select button, which upon activation, is configured to instruct the controller to enter a mapping state during which the controller assigns an activation command for one mode from the plurality of modes to the footswitch.
