Abstract:
1. A method for adjusting electrodes during set up of a stimulator device, comprising: defining a first timing channel which provides a first set of stimulation pulses to at least one electrode on the stimulator device; defining at least one second timing channel which provides at least a second set of stimulation pulses to at least one electrode on the stimulator device, wherein the first and second sets of pulses are non-overlapping in the first and second timing channels; and gradually transitioning from activating the first set of stimulation pulses to activating the second set of stimulation pulses by gradually increasing a magnitude of the second set of stimulation pulses while maintaining a first magnitude of the first set of stimulation pulses, and once the second set of stimulation pulses increases to a second magnitude, gradually decreasing a magnitude of the first set of stimulation pulses while maintaining the second magnitude of the second set of stimulation pulses.
