Abstract: An interactive representation of electrostimulation electrodes or vectors can be provided, such as for configuring combinations of electrostimulation electrodes. In an example, electrodes or test parameters can be presented graphically or in a table. A user interface can be configured to receive user-input designating electrode combinations or vectors for test or for use in programming an implantable or ambulatory medical device. The interface can be used to indicate suggested electrode combinations or vectors in response to a first selection of an electrode. Tests can be performed on electrode combinations and vectors, and the results of the tests can be presented to a user using the interactive representation. In an example, test results can be analyzed by a processor and optionally used to program an implantable or ambulatory medical device.

Abstract: A system and method for cardiac rhythm management using a programmable cardiac rhythm management device is described, wherein the method includes storing parameter interaction constraints between different programmable parameters, storing programmable parameters for the device, wherein each programmable parameter has a predefined set of possible values, wherein one programmable parameter is a delay value, and calculating initial seed values for user-set delay range input fields, wherein the seed values do not violate any parameter interaction constraints and maximize the difference between ends of the user-set delay range, wherein the user-set delay range provides the outer limits of a programmed delay value. The method further includes presenting an input screen to the user on a user display device, wherein the input screen comprises user-set delay range input fields containing the initial seed values.
