1. A method for measuring an evoked response signal to allow automatic capture detection to automatically continue functioning upon an automatic change of a sensing electrode configuration of an implantable stimulation device, the method comprising:

  • automatically determining whether a current sensing electrode configuration that is being used to measure an evoked response signal to ascertain whether capture has occurred is unable to be used for that purpose;

    automatically switching to at least one other different sensing electrode configuration to measure the evoked response signal to ascertain whether capture has occurred;

    performing an automatic recalibration procedure with the different sensing electrode configuration; and

    automatically using the different sensing electrode configuration to measure evoked response signals to allow the automatic capture detection to continue functioning upon the automatic change of a sensing electrode configuration.
