This year there was a preconference programming course at NANS. It was well received and will be offered again next year.

Traditional is pretty simple. An older mdt rep would be the best person to talk to
but essentially:
Amplitude = power
Pulse width = width (higher pulse width more likely to get both sides - good, also more likely to get the ribs - bad)
Frequency = sensation (higher frequency results in less paresthesia)
then you set your positive and negative electrodes to try to stimulate different areas of the cord
