1. A method for preventing pulse overlap in a multi-channel neurostimulation system, the method comprising:

  • defining a plurality of pulsed electrical waveforms, each of the pulsed electrical waveforms having a period and a pulse width;

    computing the greatest common divisor of the periods of the pulsed electrical waveforms;

    computing the sum of the pulse widths of the pulsed electrical waveforms; and

    allowing a plurality of timing channels in the neurostimulation system to be programmed with the pulsed electrical waveforms if the greatest common divisor is equal to or greater than the sum.
