Map
Note: Clinical effects data is captured and listed in reports but not plotted on the Clinical Effects Map for configurations not
possible in Steering Mode and for Directional Lead settings that are not 100% focused or spread.
21 Display Drop‑down
View control to switch between the Clinical Effects Map, 3D Overview, or 3D Split View of the stimulation field.
22 Reference Head
The reference head demonstrates the relationship of the Lead currently being programmed to the position of the patient head.
Clinical Effects

Stimulation Field
Note: If Brainlab Elements is available on the CP, imported objects may be viewed in STIMVIEW, referred to as STIMVIEW XT
Model (SFM)
when imported objects are displayed.
Select the one touch buttons to adjust the stimulation field. The directional presets will steer the fully focused stimulation field in
one of four orthogonal directions or put the stimulation field into "ring mode." Ring Mode generates, from a segmented Contact
