Abstract
A system and method for automatically adjusting the gain for a shock lead system in an implantable medical device is provided. The system and method operate when, after a pre-selected period of time, the gain has not been programmed. The system and method then automatically produce and set the gain for the shock lead system. The system and method poll and determine a maximum value for the output of the shock lead system amplifier and produce a new gain value to scale the output to facilitate providing useful data that is large enough to separate signal from noise but small enough to avoid clipping.
