Measuring Impedances
Lead Impedances can be measured using the Measure button on the Configure or Program
Tabs. The impedances of each of the 16 contacts may be checked to verify electrical integrity.
When an impedance measurement is taken, impedances are assessed between a contact and the
case (monopolar), and between pairs of contacts (bipolar). Impedances over 8000 Ω may be the
result of open or unconnected wires and are displayed in yellow on the Impedance Measurement
window. Impedances less than 200 Ω may be the result of short circuits and are displayed in
orange. Contacts that have impedances outside the acceptable range are marked with a
symbol on the programming screen. The last set of impedance measurements are included in a
report that can be printed or exported in the Report Tab.

Description
Select the leads, brain hemisphere and target area.
Use the arrow keys to access the drop down menus and identify
the implanted lead(s) and brain hemisphere (Ride Side or Left Side)
Type in the Target Area using an on-screen or attached keyboard.
Note: If available, additional lead options may be added via
the Tools Tab. See the "Tools Tab" section for more
information.
Measure Impedances. See the "Measuring Impedances" section for
more information.
Turn ON/OFF the patient's ability to change stimulation amplitude.
The range of the amplitude is adjusted in the Program Tab.
Displays the Stimulator Information including Serial number, Model
number, Firmware Version and type of Stimulator.
The Patient ID is defined as the Stimulator serial number by default.
You may edit it by typing into the Patient ID field.
The Implant Date is defined by the date on which a CP first
connects to a new Stimulator. You may adjust it by selecting the
Implant Date button.
