Claim 9:
10. A method for using a system comprising a neural stimulator, user input device, processing circuitry and a display, the method comprising:
using the user input device to receive a user selection of a set of stimulation parameters for the neural stimulator to stimulate the target neural tissue;
using the processing circuitry to provide together on the display representations including a first representation indicative of an electrical stimulation field based on the user-selected set of stimulation parameters for the neural stimulator, a second representation indicative of the target neural tissue, and a third representation indicative of the other neural tissue;
using the processing circuitry to change the display in response to estimating that the user-selected set of stimulation parameters will stimulate the target neural tissue to indicate when the user-selected set of stimulation parameters is estimated to stimulate the target neural tissue;
using the processing circuitry to change the display in response to estimating that the user-selected set of stimulation parameters will stimulate the other neural tissue to indicate when the user-selected set of stimulation parameters is estimated to stimulate the other neural tissue and cause the side effect;
transmitting the user-selected set of stimulation parameters to the neural stimulator for use by the neural stimulator to stimulate the target neural tissue; and
stimulating the target neural tissue using the neural stimulator, wherein the neural stimulator uses the transmitted user-selected set of stimulation parameters to stimulate the target neural tissue.
