1. A method of displaying impedance information of an implantable medical device, the method comprising:
- receiving one or more impedance values over a period of time for a plurality of channels, wherein the channels each include an electrode contact on an implantable lead;
displaying a graph that illustrates a variation of the impedance values over at least a portion of the period of time for one or more of the channels; and
displaying a visual landscape that is representative of the impedance values for the plurality of channels.

Abstract
A method of displaying impedance information of an implantable medical device is provided. One or more impedance values are received over a period of time for a plurality of channels. The channels may each include an electrode contact on an implantable lead. A graph is displayed that illustrates a variation of the impedance values over at least a portion of the period of time for one or more of the channels. A visual landscape that is representative of the impedance values for the plurality of channels is also displayed.
