The stimulation bar ( 1 ) controls the stimulation amplitude
during test stimulation for lead placement and Stimulator

programming. When available, the stimulation bar is on the right
side of the CP screen. The stimulation bar includes:
2 A digital display of the stimulation amplitude level.

When stimulation is OFF, this display shows in gray the

desired, or programmed, stimulation amplitude.
When stimulation is ON, this display shows in blue the

output, or delivered, stimulation amplitude.
Note: For extreme stimulation settings and impedance values (e.g., high
impedance values) the output stimulation amplitude may be less than the
programmed stimulation amplitude.
3 Up arrow and down arrow buttons to increase and decrease
stimulation amplitude incrementally.
By default, the "Variable" setting will allow for amplitude
•
changes in 0.05mA increments if the amplitude is
<1.30mA. At amplitudes above 1.30mA, the default
incremental change is 0.10mA.
On the CP Settings screen, the increment of amplitude
•
change can be changed from the "Variable" to a fixed
increment of 0.05mA or 0.10mA.
Incremental stimulation amplitude changes can be made
•
when stimulation is off or on.
4 A slider bar indicates the level of stimulation and can be
moved up or down to make large changes to the stimulation
amplitude.
Note: The slider bar can only be used to change stimulation amplitude when
stimulation is off.
