First Claim
1. A system for programming a tissue stimulation apparatus having at least one electrode implanted in a patient, wherein the apparatus delivers stimulation pulses having a pulse amplitude, a pulse width and a pulse rate to the patient'"'"'s tissue through the at least one electrode, the system comprising:
- at least one graphical display of applied stimulation comprising;
a displayed pulse waveform, wherein a height of the pulse waveform corresponds to the pulse amplitude and a width of the pulse waveform corresponds to the pulse width.

Abstract
Tissue stimulation systems, such as spinal cord stimulation systems, include a pulse generator to generate pulses at various amplitude, duration, and frequency through one or more electrodes. A visual depiction of both a pulse and an electrode configuration is thus provided herein. These depictions may be used in a stimulation display interface to readily convey stimulation parameter information to a user, wherein the interface is used in a stimulation session.
