An executable program is stored in an implantable pulse generator. A parameter log is maintained in the implantable pulse generator, where the parameter log is used to record changes to the state of one or more programmable parameters of the executable program. When a change is detected in the state, from a first state to a second state, of the one or more programmable parameters the first state of the one or more programmable parameters changed to the second state are recorded in the parameter log. The parameter log is retrievable to allow for analysis of when and how changes took place to the executable program.Field of SearchTesting or monitoring pacer functionMeasuring pacing, threshold, capture margin, or contact impedance Testing condition of energy source Remotely changing, (e.g., programming, pacer) parameters or operation Assurance of security, accuracy, or completion of programming procedure Control signal storage (e.g., programming) | |
