Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for defining connections between a plurality of lead bodies and a plurality of output ports of a neurostimulator, and an external control device for performing the method are disclosed. The external control device includes a user interface and control circuitry. The method includes displaying the lead bodies and the output ports of the neurostimulator; selecting a first one of the lead bodies; dragging a connector from the first lead body to a first one of the output ports of the neurostimulator; and dropping the connector onto the first output port of the neurostimulator, thereby defining a connection between the first lead body and the first output port of the neurostimulator. In another embodiment, a method includes defining the connection between the first lead body and the first output port, and graphically displaying the connection between the first lead body and the first output port of the neurostimulator.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An external control device for selectively displaying connections between a plurality of lead bodies, each coupled to at least one electrode, and a plurality of output ports of a neurostimulator, the external control device comprising: control circuitry configured for, in response to input from a user, defining a connection between a first one of the lead bodies and a first one of the output ports of the neurostimulator; and a user interface configured for…
