1. A system for an electrical neurostimulator coupled to a plurality of electrodes, comprising:

  • a user interface configured for receiving a user input; and

    a controller/processor configured for (a) defining an immediate virtual multipole, (b) defining an immediate electrode configuration that emulates the immediate virtual multipole, (c) defining a new virtual multipole by changing a parameter of the immediate virtual multipole by a step size in response to the user input, (d) defining a new electrode configuration that emulates the new virtual multipole, (e) computing a difference value as a function of the immediate virtual multipole and the new virtual multipole, (f) comparing the difference value to a limit value, (g) decreasing the absolute value of the step size when the difference value exceeds the limit value to create a new step size, and (h) repeating steps (c)-(f) for the new step size.
