Diagnostic indicator and PSG interface for a closed loop neuromodulator
First Claim
1. A closed loop neuromodulator interface for providing diagnostic information from a closed loop neuromodulator, configured to provide sleep therapy for a patient, to a user or a polysomnograph (PSG), the interface comprising:
- a diagnostic indicator register coupled to a data bus of the closed loop neuromodulator, the diagnostic indicator register configured to receive a first portion of the diagnostic information and to switch an LED driver of a plurality of LED drivers in response to the first portion of the diagnostic information; and
a PSG interface configured to receive a second portion of the diagnostic information and to provide the second portion of the diagnostic information to the PSG.

Abstract
This document discusses, among other things, a system and method for providing diagnostic information from a closed loop neuromodulator, configured to provide sleep therapy for a patient, to a user or a polysomnograph (PSG). A first portion of the diagnostic information can be received at a diagnostic indicator register of the closed loop neuromodulator and an LED driver can be switched using the first portion of the diagnostic information. A second portion of the diagnostic information can be received at a PSG interface of the closed loop neuromodulator and provided to the PSG for display.
