Synchronization and calibration of clocks for a medical device and calibrated clock

A system for synchronizing a plurality of clocks in a medical device system, the medical device system providing treatment to a patient with a nervous system disorder, the plurality of clocks comprising a first clock and a second clock, the system comprising:

• a user interface;
• a communications interface that is coupled to the second clock;
• a memory;
• and
• a processor that is connected to the user interface in order to receive an instruction from a user, the processor connected to the memory and configured to instructs the second clock through the communications interface, the processor further configured to perform:
• (a) receiving a selected time associated with the second clock, the selected time different than a reference time that is associated with the first clock;
• and
• (b) setting the second clock to the selected time so as to synchronize the first and second clock.

A method for synchronizing a first clock and a second clock, the method comprising:

• (a) receiving a selected time in a programmer, the programmer associated with the first clock;
• (b) setting the first clock to the selected time;
• and
• (c) providing a control message to the second clock from the programmer, the second clock associated with a medical device, wherein the providing of the control message synchronizes the time on the first clock and the second clock.

A method for synchronizing a first clock, a second clock and a third clock, the method comprising:

• (a) receiving a selected time in a programmer from a first medical device, the programmer associated with the first clock and the first medical device associated with the second clock;
• (b) setting the first clock to the selected time;
• and
• (c) providing a control message to the third clock from the programmer the third clock associated with a second medical device, wherein the providing of the control message synchronizes the time on the first clock, the second clock and the third clock.
