Defining the Amplitude Range
By default, patients will not have the ability to adjust the amplitude of their stimulation.
However, in some cases, you may want to give a patient the ability to adjust the
amplitude of their stimulation using the remote Control. In these cases, you must unlock
Remote Control amplitude adjustments and define an amplitude range.
The Area Settings screen allows you to view and edit the amplitude range allowed by the
patient’s Remote Control. The amplitude range is defined by the minimum and maximum
stimulation amplitude. The patient may only adjust his or her stimulation amplitude
within this range.
Note:
The patient cannot adjust the pulse width and rate of stimulation with the Remote
Control.
To unlock the ability for patients to adjust stimulation amplitude with the Remote
Control:
1
Click
from any screen.
2
Click
on the left of the screen.
3
Uncheck the Lockout Remote Amplitude option.
To define the amplitude range for an Area:
1
Ensure “Lockout Remote Amplitude” is disabled (see above).
2
From the Program screen, click in the desired Area tab.
Each Area may have a different amplitude range.
3
Set the minimum amplitude using the
buttons in the top box.
The minimum amplitude allowed is 0 mA.
