System and method for connecting devices to a neurostimulator

摘要

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.

1. An external control device for selectively defining 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:
a user interface configured for receiving input from a user, and for displaying the lead bodies and the output ports of the neurostimulator; and control circuitry configured for, in response to input from the user, 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.
