Abstract
A conducted electrical weapon (“CEW”) may launch electrodes toward a target to electrically couple to the target. A CEW may include a signal generator, one or more electrodes, and a selector circuit. The signal generator may include a first conductor and a second conductor, wherein the first conductor has a positive potential and the second conductor has a negative potential. The signal generator may be configured to provide a stimulus signal through the first conductor and the second conductor. The selector circuit may be in electrical series between the signal generator and the one or more electrodes. The selector circuit may be configured to selectively electrically couple an electrode from the one or more electrodes to the first conductor or the second conductor of the signal generator.
