| 1. A cardiac rhythm management system, comprising:
at least one module; and
a communication unit configured to transmit to the at least one module a single maximum pacing rate signal associated by the
at least one module with a single maximum pacing rate for a plurality of pacing processes and an offset signal associated
by the at least one module with an offset from the single maximum pacing rate for a pacing process of the plurality of pacing
processes, wherein the transmitted maximum pacing rate limits at least two of the plurality of pacing processes and the transmitted
maximum pacing rate, as offset by the offset, limits the pacing process of the plurality of pacing processes.
