A method of generating a cardiac electrophysiology map includes receiving a reference biological signal and an electrical signal indicative of electrical activity at a location on a patients heart. Using a graphical user interface, a practitioner designates at least two trigger point icons, one upward-pointing and one downward-pointing, on a graphical representation of the reference biological signal (e.g., a waveform). By pairing one upward-pointing icon with one downward-pointing icon, a plurality of triggering criteria are defined. Electrophysiology data points are captured and/or added to the electrophysiology map when the triggering criteria are satisfied.
