1. A method comprising:
- receiving electrical stimulation pulses applied by a pulse generator across a set of output terminals; and
indicating one or more parameters associated with the electrical stimulation pulses via an array of visual indicators, wherein each of the indicators corresponds to one of the output terminals, the output terminals are coupled to drive the indicators, and the indicators are physically arranged to represent relative positions of electrodes carried by one or more implantable leads.

Abstract
An external indicator device presents parameters associated with stimulation therapy generated by a pulse generator, which may be associated with an external or implantable stimulation device. In this manner, the external indicator device enables a user to visualize stimulation parameters without actually delivering stimulation therapy to a patient via implanted electrodes. The electrical stimulation parameters may include electrical amplitude levels, pulse widths, pulse rates, electrode combinations, and electrode polarities for stimulation generated by the pulse generator.
