Apparatus and method for dynamically interpreting and displaying a real- time telemetry link

摘要

A monitoring and/or programming device communicates with a cardiac stimulation device, such as a pacemaker, which is operatively implanted within a patient. Communication between the programmer and cardiac device occurs over a radio frequency (RF) telemetry link. During a monitoring and/or programming procedure, data is transmitted over the RF telemetry link between the programming device and the cardiac device. Parameters indicating the quality of the RF telemetry link are continuously measured, evaluated and formatted for display to an operator of the programming device.
