1. An external control device for use with a plurality of different types of programmable neurostimulators respectively having different numerical ranges for the same parameter, comprising:
- memory storing a software package capable of being selectively reconfigured to program each of the neurostimulators;
input circuitry configured for receiving information from one of the neurostimulators identifying a type of the one neurostimulator; and
processing circuitry configured for identifying the type of the one neurostimulator based on the information received by the input circuitry and for configuring the software package, to program the one neurostimulator in accordance with the numerical range of the parameter corresponding to the identified type of the one neurostimulator.

Abstract
External control devices, neurostimulation systems, and programming methods. A neurostimulator includes a feature having a numerical range. Information identifying a type of the neurostimulator is transmitted to an external control device. The external control device receives the information from the neurostimulator, identifies the type of the neurostimulator based on the received information, and programs the neurostimulator in accordance with the numerical range of the feature corresponding to the identified type of the neurostimulator.
