1. A method for setting an energy level for communication pulses of a medical device, the method comprising:

  • delivering a plurality of pulses to tissue of a patient, where each pulse includes an amount of energy, and for each delivered pulse, determining whether the delivered pulse produces an unwanted stimulation of the patient;

    changing the amount of energy of the plurality of pulses over time so as to identify an amount of energy that corresponds to an unwanted stimulation threshold for the pulses;

    setting a maximum energy value for communication pulses that is below the unwanted stimulation threshold; and

    delivering communication pulses to tissue of the patient at or below the maximum energy value during communication with another device.
