Meters

The meters display provides a graphical representation of some of the stimulation parameters which the DS5

monitors continuously. Displayed parameters include Peak Current, Peak Voltage, Average Low Current

(AvL), Average High Current (AvH), Pulse Energy (PE), Impedance (Z), Pulse Duration (PD).

Icons displayed within the AvL, AvH, PE and PD bar graphs indicate whether the normal or extended

output limits are enabled.

When values are within the normal limits and these limits are enabled, the bars are coloured blue. When

the extended limits are enabled, the bars turn amber when values are between the normal and extended

limits. If an enabled limit is exceeded, three events will occur:-

(i) The relevant bar will turn red.

(ii) The green or amber shield will be replaced by a red shield with a white cross .

(iii) The stimulator output will be disabled.
