Quick starting external programmer for implantable medical device

摘要: A system and method for restoring a microprocessor-based to previously booted target state in which an image of memory the processor registers is saved stored storage device. restore routine executing ROM retrieves from device restores state. An operating return then returns control software. In exemplary implementation, accordance with invention incorporated into external programmer cardiac rhythm management order allow quick starting powered down condition without going through time consuming boot process.
