Parameters Panel

When the Parameters Tab is selected, only the Parameters panel will be expanded. However, when the
Full View Tab is selected, both the Parameters panel and the Lead Group panel will be expanded.
The Parameters panel displays controls for changing the stimulation parameters for the Area or for the
Program, which are accessed by two distinct tabs. There is one stimulation parameter that is available
for configuring a Program – total amplitude. There are three stimulation parameters that are available
to you for configuring an Area – amplitude, pulse width, and rate. Amplitude, pulse width, and rate
contribute to the neural dose, and can be used to adjust dose for a given field shape. The amplitude of
stimulation is the strength of a stimulation pulse and is measured in milliamps (mA). The pulse width
of the stimulation describes the length of time a stimulation pulse is applied to the area. The pulse width
is measured in microseconds (μs). The rate (or frequency or pulse rate) of the stimulation dictates how
often a stimulation pulse is delivered in one second. The rate of stimulation is measured in Hertz (Hz).
Pulses can be delivered in a symmetric biphasic (active recharge) or non-symmetric biphasic (passive
recharge) configuration. Clinicians can select parameter options based on patient preferences (for
example comfort, therapy onset, and charge burden).
Description
Used to access program slots for storing or creating up to 16
patient Programs.
Turns Therapy ON or OFF for the current, active Program.
Refer to "Turning Therapy ON or OFF".
A name for the current program can be entered in this field.
Program Options for the active Program can be viewed by
selecting on the down arrow next to the Program Name field.
Refer to "Understanding the Program Drop-Down Menu".
A Program can have up to four Areas. Each Area has its own
dedicated slot, which displays the parameters programmed
for that Area. Refer to "Understanding the Area Slots".
Depending on the frequency of the stimulation, other areas
may not be available.
During programming, there may be a need to temporarily
store a specific configuration for later use. These can be
stored here. Refer to "Temporarily Saving Areas".
