1. A neurostimulation system for use with a neurostimulator to deliver electrical stimulation to one or more electrodes, the neurostimulation system comprising:
- a user interface including a display screen and one or more stimulation parameter controls configured for being actuated by a user to define a plurality of stimulation parameter sets;
a memory configured for storing a historical log file of stimulation events including stimulation parameter sets for the stimulation events; and
a controller configured for, in response to an input from the user, instructing the neurostimulator to serially convey electrical stimulation energy to the one or more electrodes in accordance with the plurality of stimulation parameter sets, wherein the controller is configured to log a new stimulation event in the historical log file when the user input defines or makes adjustments to the parameter sets, including logging stimulation parameter values for the new stimulation event in the historical log file, wherein the system is configured to display information icons on the display screen, the information icons being associated with respective stimulation events in the historical log file of stimulation events, each information icon being selectable to display the stimulation parameter values associated with the respective stimulation event.
