Abstract
The methods and systems herein generally relate to generating stimulation waveforms for a therapy of a neurostimulation (NS) device in a patient. The methods and systems receive a target stimulation waveform from a user interface, calculate a timing resolution of the target stimulation waveform, determine target amplitude resolutions of the target stimulation waveform, identify whether a mathematical relationship exists between the target amplitude resolutions, and automatically designate one of a first, second, or third generator circuits based on at least one of the timing resolution, the amplitude, or the mathematical relationship. The systems and methods further transmit the target stimulation waveform and an activation instruction for the designated one of the first, second, or third generator circuits along the communication link to a NS device. The NS device includes the first, second, and third generator circuits configured to generate different first, second, and third types of stimulation waveforms.
