4 Area Slot
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”.

Temporary Areas Expander
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”.
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. The
amplitude
of stimulation is the peak
value 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).
