1. A method of programming an implantable pulse generator, the method comprising:
- receiving data identifying the implantable pulse generator by an external programming device;
loading a script file previously stored according to the identifying data into memory of the programming device, wherein loading a script file includes presenting a script file according to a cardiac disorder in which modification of at least one programming parameter of the implantable pulse generator is needed to treat the cardiac disorder;
executing the script file to;
pre-load programming variables into the memory of a programming device; and
present at least a portion of the programming variables on a display for modification, if any, by an operator;
checking any modified programming variables to determine if the modification is appropriate for the implantable pulse generator; and
selectively transmitting the programming variables via telemetry from the programming device to the implantable pulse generator for storage in memory of the implantable pulse generator.

Abstract
A device and method for programming an implantable pulse generator. In one embodiment, commands are entered designating implantable pulse generator programming variables into programmer memory. At least some of the commands are transformed into an executable macro. The macro is stored in the programmer memory. The macro is executed to transmit the programming variables to the implantable pulse generator.
