1. A method comprising:

  • storing a new charge setting value specifying an amount of charge that is to flow during a stimulation pulse; and

    generating and delivering the stimulation pulse in a manner such that an amount of charge delivered to the tissue during the stimulation pulse has a value that is substantially equal to the stored charge setting value, wherein delivering the stimulation pulse comprises monitoring the flow of charge during delivery of the stimulation pulse, and halting the delivery based on the flow of charge exceeding the stored charge setting value.
