1. A method, comprising:
- storing an executable program in an implantable pulse generator, wherein the executable program includes at least one programmable parameter having a first state;
storing a parameter log in the implantable pulse generator;
detecting an error in a change in the first state of the at least one programmable parameter to a second state; and
storing in the parameter log the first state of the at least one programmable parameters changed in error to the second state.

Abstract
A method and system for recording changes to programmable parameters in an implantable pulse generator. An executable program is stored in an implantable pulse generator. A parameter log is maintained in the implantable pulse generator, where the parameter log is used to record changes to the state of one or more programmable parameters of the executable program. When a change is detected in the state, from a first state to a second state, of the one or more programmable parameters the first state of the one or more programmable parameters changed to the second state are recorded in the parameter log. The parameter log is retrievable to allow for analysis of when and how changes took place to the executable program.
