1. A programmer for programming an implantable pulse generator comprising:
- a programmer memory;
data entry means to enter implantable pulse generator programming variables into the programmer memory;
a processor to transform the entry of programming variables into an executable macro as the variables are entered and storing the macro in the programmer memory; and
a communication module to transmit the programming variables to the pulse generator when the processor executes the macro.

Abstract
A device and method for programming an implantable pulse generator. In one embodiment, commands are entered designating implantable pulse generator programming variables into programmer memory. At least some of the commands are transformed into an executable macro. The macro is stored in the programmer memory. The macro is executed to transmit the programming variables to the implantable pulse generator.

26. A method of programming an implantable pulse generator, the method comprising:
-
receiving data identifying the implantable pulse generator by an external programming device;
loading a script file previously stored according to the identifying data into memory of the programming device;
executing the script file to pre-load programming variables into the memory of a programming device; and
selectively transmitting the programming variables via telemetry from the programming device to the implantable pulse generator for storage in memory of the implantable pulse generator. - View Dependent Claims (27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37)
