1. A computer readable media including instructions for performing 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.

2. A programmer for programming an implantable pulse generator comprising:
-
a programmer memory to store a plurality of script files, each script file containing a sequence of executable commands to program an implantable pulse generator; data receiving means to receive data identifying an implantable pulse generator to be programmed; a display adapted to display a menu of stored script files associated with the implantable pulse generator, and display at least a portion of a script file; data receiving means to receive modifications, if any, to the script file; a processor coupled to the memory, the processor adapted to; display 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; execute the script file to; automatically pre-load programming variables of the implantable pulse generator; and display at least a portion of the programming variables for modification, if any, by an operator; and check any modified programming variables to determine if the modification is appropriate for the implantable pulse generator; and a communication module coupled to the processor to transmit the programming variables via telemetry to the pulse generator when the processor executes the script file. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
